Colorized historical photographs offer people a chance to view their ancestors in a different light and under different photographic circumstances. Colorized photographs can make people, places, and events feel, immediate and relatable. Adding color provides the viewer with the opportunity to notice details in clothing, architecture, landscape. In addition, colorizing black and white photographs allow the viewer to experience a sense of empathy for the people who have gone before them. Colorized photographs emphasize the past through our emotions and our imagination.
