This site provides information about photographers active in the United States from 1844 to 1950. The information comes from city directories, business and industry directories, classified advertising, tax lists, census, published sources and photographer's marks on the images themselves. It will be common for a photographer to appear in the list of the photographers for any letter of the alphabet and yet not appearÂ with a detailed listing. Information is constantly being added, so if you see a name in the lists and cannot find the details about that photographer, it means it's in the database but has not been posted yet. Please check back for updates. For other features see the navigation bar at the top of the page.
