Prokudin-Gorskii Collection
Color Composite Digital Images
Between ca. 1905 and
1915 Prokudin-Gorskii took photographs
of the Russian Empire using an
early color process. He photographed
through color filters onto triple-frame
glass
negatives, producing images that
could be printed or projected
in color. In response to researcher
interest, the Library
of Congress contracted with Blaise
Agüera
y Arcas to
make digital color composites
of all the negatives through
an automated process (a description
of the process is available).
The results can now be viewed
in PPOC.
