Can you elaborate on that,
who is doing it, and what it will cover
is there anywhere out there with the basic history that I can pick up the info

Milbourne Christopher was an avid Magical Historian. I would check into his books.
"Genius is another word for magic, and the whole point of magic is that it is inexplicable." - Margot Fonteyn

Hey Dionsiseire,
Can you find me a nice copy of Seamus Burke's From the Earth to a Star: My Incredible Life? It was published in Dublin and copies surface there.
As to your question, the way you phrased the scope of your project, you are undertaking a HUGE task. You might want to look at a few websites (links below) to see what's out there.
Good luck with your project.
Clay
