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.
