Fingerprint Books

Hi there, this week I am going to post some rare (but free) books written by the pioneers of the fingerprint field.
Although these e-books are freely available at clpex.com, but I am posting direct links from which you can download very easily. All are in pdf format.
 Many people see fingerprint science as old fashioned and sort of obsolete (only in India) and this field is not the first choice for research as well. So, this effort is especially for our freshers as well as researchers just to make them feel that this field is one of the most exciting realms of forensic science.


1895, Sir Francis Galton, "Finger Print Directories"
1900, Sir Edward R. Henry, "Classification and Uses of Finger Prints"
1892, Sir Francis Galton, "Finger Prints"
1893, Sir Francis Galton, "Decipherment of Blurred Fingerprints"
1905, Dr. Henry Faulds, "Guide to Finger- Print Identification"
1908, Sir Francis Galton, "Memories Of My Life"
1912, Dr. Henry Faulds, "Dactylography, or The Study of Finger-Prints"
1915, Dr. Henry Faulds, "A Manual of Practical Dactylography"
1916, Sir William Herschel, "The Origins of Finger-Printing"

1957, FBI, "The Science of Fingerprints; Classification and Uses"


Download them and enjoy!
Cheers
