There is also an incredibly thorough discussion of the calotype process:

If you're hip to the whole World Wide Web craze, you can order from B&H 
online: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/

I've had good experiences with B&H in the past.

Film For Classics (http://www.filmforclassics.com/) appears to sell 620 
and other esoteric formats.  I have never ordered from them, though.
