I am in the process of developing a 'scientific' website. At the moment I am in the data collection stage and looking for biographical information - especially photographs of Scientists who played key roles during the 'History of Science'.

For clarity I have divided up the sciences according to the main disciplines of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics and Computing.

To help me in my venture, I have scoured the internet for various sources of biographical information - www.studyweb.com, britanicca etc. but cannot find a suitable archive of black and white photos. One particular scientist I am having trouble finding a portrait of Thomas Andrews (1813-1885), Irish Chemist who did pioneering work at Queens College belfast.

Can anyone help me find a suitable link? I have also tried searching the graphics libraries of Altavista - but still no success.

Any support would be much appreciated.
