Autochromes

A DigitalNZ Story by DigitalNZ

Inspired by a recent Open GLAM blog about Te Papa's collection of autochrome photographs, we created this set of the collection, plus some newspaper articles from the time discussing the new photographic process. All these photographs are openly licensed and available for download from Te Papa. You can find out more info about autochromes in the blog post here: http://openglam.org/2015/01/04/autochromes-from-the-te-papa-collection/
