John's Cameras. A collection of interesting and old cameras.

Camera sites I use

Discussion group for Vintage Cameras which is open to all who have an interest in old and interesting cameras.

collection-appareils which is in French with some parts also in English. One of my main resources.

Butkus manuals  who can supply PDF scans of many camera manuals. There is no charge, but a small donation is polite.

camera patents this is a list of downloadable patents files dating back a very long way. Site belongs to Daniel Jiménez Chocrón.
