There is a section on copying Dag.'s in Kodaks publication on copying and
duplicating. There may also be some info in their publication on Photo
Conservation. It has been a few years since I've read these, but I do
remember a diagram for a copy stand setup with the Dag. tilted slightly
with repect to the camera. Most likely to direct unwanted reflections
away from the camera lens, and to adjust the lighting so you'd photograph
the image as a positive.
The Daguerrean Society has a copy box that they rent out for this sort of
thing if that would be useful to you. Their URL is on my web page
