Here is my recommendation:

1. Get Darrah's book "The World of Stereographs" either through
   interlibrary loan or directly from Land Yacht Press, PO Box
   210262, Nashville TN 37221 (fax order at 615-646-2086) for
   $24.95 pp.

2. Contact T. K. Treadwell at (704) 524-4274 or 
   71222.1571@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

3. Contact John Waldsmith at 302 Granger Rd., Medina OH 44256
   (330) 239-1944.

These two gentelmen are leading authorities in the area of stereo 
views and they should be able to direct you to other soucres if
needed.

And don't forget to let us know what you find!
