But about glass plate holography...On a list I run, a

doing a type of holography involving gelatin, DCG holograpy.
(DiChromated Gelatin) Some of the guys are doing some pretty impressive
work. They're using glass plates, coating them themselves.
As far as I know, plates for holography are the only ones you can easily buy. I think you
can still get dry plates for B&W from Europe, but, IIRC they started out at $100 for a
box of 10 small plates. Most do wet plate, but a few make there own dry plates. The
process to make dry plates looks rather time consuming, but doable. As for tintypes, it
is easy to buy kits to do them.
