Summary

This  web site records my research into the history of photography in Edinburgh since 1839 .  It is a non-commercial web site.

The site includes early history of photography in Edinburgh; dates, addresses and background of Edinburgh's early professional photographers , and the history of photographic societies :

- Edinburgh Calotype Club

-  established 1840s

- Photographic Society of Scotland

-  established 1856

- Edinburgh Photographic Society

-  established 1861

There were about 12,000 pages on this site, together with many old photos , engravings , and some of my photos . I am continuing to add more pages and images to this site.    I hope you find the site interesting.
