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.

Eric Renner's Pinhole Photography: Rediscovering a Historic Technique,
in its second edition from Focal Press, has an awful lot of history in
it, and it would make a good starting place.  I believe it's available
at any of the online bookstores, eg, amazon.com, or directly from Eric
and Nancy at www.pinholeresource.com, and I found mine at Staceys,
a fine bricks and mortar bookstore here in San Francisco.
