This weeks installment of history found on the web includes links to a few sites with something special. Color photographs from the early days of color photography. Color somehow brings a photograph to more life, adds more detail, and helps get a better understanding of the time period. Sure you can see the style of clothes, for example, in a black and white, but did you know it was bright green!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Color images of Russia from 1910<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first site comes from the Boston Globe<\/a>. These pictures are from Russia over 100 years ago! Absolutely amazing detail.<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
World War II films in color<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Second we have a bunch of color moving pictures from World War II from a blog at salon.com<\/a>. Color and moving pictures just makes it all the more real.<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Historic Test Films<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The third site is an archive of films from nuclear testing by the U.S. Department of Energy<\/a>. Crazy the amount of destruction those armaments produced.<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
Goddard and a rocket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fourth is a link to NASA’s Flickr account<\/a>. Here is Flickr working with a number of the U.S. Government departments to archive some of their images and provide a more publicly accessible way for these public images to be… accessible. Kind of neat.<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
The Past meets the Present<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, the best for last. This site is all in Russian, so not too sure what he’s saying, but Sergey Larenkov<\/a> has some neat images. They show a juxtaposition of World War II photos with current photos of the same place. It’s a really neat way to see how the damage would look if it were to happen today.<\/div>\n
