Civil war era photography

I am a professional photographer and part time photography teacher.

Does anyone have any links to or items that can be scanned and sent such as era literature on civil war techniques, camera types, etc.

I have wanted to create a class based solely on vintage photography techniques. I know how the photography was done in the 1800's but have very little info on the models and equipment actually used. Most photography history books that I have found say very little about the use of photography during the civil war.
