Brenda,

Almost forgot to answer the specific question you asked. I assume you will 
be using RA-4 chemicals. This is really the only kind to consider. A number 
of companies make the chemicals including Kodak, Trebla, and Hunt. Let me 
know if you need more specific information on obtaining it and what 
quantities you will need. As far as paper is concerned I would strongly 
recommend Fujicolor Professional Paper. They make 2 contrast grades, type C 
(higher) and type P (lower). I recommend the M (matte) surface. Kodak makes 
3 contrast grades, but the dyes fade faster.
