What do you want to know about them?

I you want to date a photograph, this article (http://paulmessier.com/pm/pdf/dating.PDF) might help.

If you want to know about paper surfaces, the Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_paper) on photographic paper has links to companies making them. Some, maybe most, were around for the period you need. You could contact them.

Another source would be old photographic magazine advertisments. Popular Photography was around during that time, a good source if your search covers mostly the US.
