An inside look at daguerreotype conservation 

This is awesome! Thanks for the upload!

Irreplaceable! Thank you for your great work!

Thank you! I shared this with my History of Photography class.

Just to correct you - the Daguerreotype process was not free to use in England and it's colonies. A costly licence was required - this slowed the uptake of the process in the U. K. As A compared to the uptake in the U.S.A. and virtually everywhere else.

Awesome

The daguerreotype was NOT invented in 1839. 1839 was the year that a public meeting was held and the process revealed to the world. The invention was probably three or four years prior to 1839. See "The Silver Canvas".

It's good that you preserve a French invention. Now you should give back Acadia that you stole from the Acadians French and give half of canada, not just Quebec back to French Canadians. I am not canadian in case you wonder.
