==Printing-Out Processes==
===Beginnings – Photogenic Drawing and Salted Paper===
*Talbot, H. Fox. “Some Account of the Art of Photogenic Drawing.” Philosophical Magazine 14, no. 88 (1839): 196-208. (Talbot’s first communication to the Royal Society on January 31, 1839, contained no working details.)
*Talbot, W. H. Fox. “An Account of the Processes employed in Photogenic Drawing.” Philosophical Magazine 14, no. 88 (1839): 209-211 (Responding to several requests, Talbot provides working details on February 21, 1839.)
*Talbot, H. F. “The Process of Talbotype (Formerly Called Calotype). In Photogenic Drawing. Communicated to the Royal Society, June 10, 1841.” London: J. & H. Cox Brothers, 1841: 1-4. (Talbot notes that his Talbotype process can be used to make positive prints, but he prefers the use of his photographic [sic] paper.)
*Le Gray, Gustave. A Practical Treatise on Photography, Upon Paper and Glass. London: T. & R. Willats, 1850: 7-24, with preface, introduction, and appendix. (An account by an important early practitioner.)
*Baldus, Édouard. Concours de Photographie: Mémoire Dèposé au Secretariat de la Société d’Encouragement pour l’Industrie Nationale. Paris: Victor Masson, 1852: 5-32. (Another account by an important early practitioner.)
===Albumen Paper in the 1860s & 1870s===
*Hardwich, T. Frederick. “The Practical Details of Photographic Printing.” In A Manual of Photographic Chemistry, Including the Practice of the Collodion Process. 5th edition. (London: John Churchill, 1859), 305-339. (An early, compendious manual on photography. Comparing editions of Hardwich traces the technical evolution of early British photography.)
*Towler, J. “Manipulation of Positive Printing,” “The Printing of Sensitized Paper,” and “Bertrand’s New Process for Positive Printing.” In The Silver Sunbeam: A Practical and Theoretical Text-Book on Sun Drawing and Photographic Printing. New York: Joseph H. Ladd, 1864: 192-211. Reprinted Hastings-on-Hudson, New York: Morgan & Morgan, 1969. (Towler is to American photography what Hardwich is to England.)
*Wilson, Edward L. “Printing on Albumen Paper.” In Wilson’s Photographics: A Series of Lessons Accompanied by Notes, on All the Processes Which Are Needful in the Art of Photography. Philadelphia: Edward L. Wilson, 1881: 189-210. (Wilson was editor of the Philadelphia Photographer. His Photographics is in the style of a moderated chat room: he provides the authoritative context to his readers’ anecdotal experiences.)
===End of the 19th Century and the Printing-Out Emulsions===
*Woodbury, Walter E. Aristotypes and How to Make Them. New York: The Scovill & Adams Company, 1893: 8-12, 41-105, 128-149. (A major American publication of the making and processing of gelatine and collodion POP papers. We have reprinted the processing section only.)
*Stieglitz, Alfred. “Toning Aristo Prints with Platinum.” American Annual of Photography, and Photographic Times Almanac (1890): 120-121. (An interesting note by someone we do not normally associate with silver printing-out papers.)
*Woodbury, Walter E. The Encyclopædic Dictionary of Photography. New York: The Scovill & Adams Company, 1898: 492-499. Reprinted New York: Arno Press, 1979. (At the turn of the century, the POP processes are still fully represented in photographic encyclopedias.)
*Jones, Bernard E., ed. Cassell’s Cyclopaedia of Photography. London: Cassell, 1911: 118-119 and 214. Reprinted as Encyclopedia of Photography. New York: Arno Press, 1974. 
===The 20th Century: Decline and Reintroduction===
*Kodak Ltd. Price List of General Photographic Apparatus and Materials. London: Kodak Ltd., January 1904: 229-242.
*Lumière-Jougla. Agenda Lumière-Jougla. Paris: Librairie Gauthier-Villars, 1922: 259-278.
*“Printing out Papers” and “Toning Bath.” In Photo-Lab-Index. Hastings-on-Hudson, NY: Morgan & Morgan, 1967: Quarterly Supplement no. 111 (Replacement Page). (Into the early 1970s, there were still two or three gelatin chloride printing-out papers on the market, Kodak and GAF/Ansco among them.)
*Kodak Studio Proof Paper Data Sheet. Rochester, NY: Eastman Kodak, reprinted 1976. (Even before it discontinued Studio Proof Paper, Kodak had forgotten it could be processed.)
*Chicago Albumen Works. Centennial™ DW Gelatine Chloride Printing-out Paper Data Sheet. Housatonic, MA: Chicago Albumen Works, Rev. June 2006: 1-8. 
*Baker, T. Thorne. “Printing–out Emulsion.” In Photographic Emulsion Technique. Boston: American Photographic Publishing Co., 1941: 192-201.
*Chicago Albumen Works. “Characteristic Curves for Various Printing-out Photographic Papers.” Unpublished. Housatonic, MA: Chicago Albumen Works, 2002.
