Some might be interested in this project, set up by science
fiction writer Bruce Sterling a few years back. It's got a
few good sources on media archeology, including entries for
pre-cinematic forms, magic lantern, photographic processes
etc. amongst its huge database. All of the entries are
posted by email and fully credited. You still have to wade
through the entire working note list to find what you're
looking for, but it's well worth it. Anyway, here's the URL:

enjoy.
