Holograms need a material to record interference fringes. There are many materials that can record fringes.

'''[[Silver Halide Chemistry]].''' Theory and Practice of Making Silver Halide Plates and Development.

'''[[Silver Film Comparison Chart]]''' A quick comparison of the qualities of different commercially made films.

'''[[Dichromated Gelatin Chemistry]].''' Theory and Practice of DCG Plates and Development.

'''[[Polymer Film and Processes]]'''. Many commercially sold holograms are made from photopolymers.

'''[[Photoresist]]'''. Taken from the electronics industry, this material can make relief holograms for embossing.

'''[[Coating Methods]]'''. Coating Gelatin on to a glass plate is an art in itself.

'''[[Crystals]]'''. There are many crystals that can record an image. The cost and exposure energy required is very high so they are not often used for holography.

'''[[Embossed Holograms]]'''. These are like the holograms seen on credit cards.

'''[[Gelatin]]'''. Used as the suspension medium to hold light sensitive particles.
