  This review treats the advances in Light Baryon Spectroscopy of the last two
decades, which were mainly obtained by measuring meson-production reactions at
photon facilities all over the world. We provide a consistent compendium of
experimental results, as well as a review of the theoretical methods of
amplitude analysis used to analyze the data. The most significant datasets are
presented in detail and are listed in combination with a full set of the
relevant references. In addition, a brief summary of spin-formalisms, which are
ubiquitous in Light Baryon Spectroscopy, as well as a review on complete
experiments, are provided. The synthesis of the reviewed knowledge is presented
in a full interpretation of the new results on the Light Baryon Spectrum.
