There are several good sources on making kallitypes. The most
definitive work on the process is a book by Dick Stevens, now out of
print. I forgot the exact title but it is something like The
Definitive Guide to Making Kallitypes. Good information is also found
in the following sources.

1. Russ Young's chapter on kallitype in Coming into Focus.
2. The chapter by Farber in Historic Photograhic Processes.
2. The chapter on kallitype in Christopher James' recently published
book on alternative photography.
3. The web site at B&S, http://www.bostick-sullivan.com/kalli.htm
