Stop motion History research

Here is a brief history of stop motion animation, this is what I have managed to find. I will be using this research as a part of my dissertation, it will be present in chapter one. It is very brief as I just want to get the key moments in history rather than every detail as my essay isn't based on the history of stop motion animation, I just want to touch on it as it then gives the audience background information. I will be gong into further detail on certain events as they are more interesting and the audience will then have gathered further information about stop motion animation as a whole.
