Biographical information on 19th century photographers?

[Karin Bareman]

Hello all. Forgive the novice in the field, but I am looking for biographical information on 19th century photographers, most of them it must be said rather obscure as neither google nor the usual big collections throw anything up...Any advise where to find this?

thanks! Karin
