Here's a nice set of short (5 min or so) videos from George Eastman House, Kodak's archive and historical centre. Each gives a brief overview of the process with footage of people (usually Mark Osterman) actually making an image. They are very short and sweet but they are a good place to start if you are researching a process and don't know what's involved. If you haven't come across a Woodburytype for example, This explains it quickly and clearly...
1. The Daguerreotype
2. The Collodion process
3. The Albumen print
4. The Woodburytype process
5. The Platinum print
6. The Gelatin Silver print
