Hi Neil, Probably start with Eric Renner and Nancy Spencer's Pinhole Resource www.pinholeresource.com. What you're looking for is why the Resource is there. Eric's book, "Pinhole Photography, Rediscovering a Historic Technique," gives an artistic, practical and historical overview of pinhole imagery. The Pinhole Resource used to sell two bibliographies of articles and publications on pinhole photography, one from the 5th Century BC to 1850 AD and the second from 1850 ot the present.
