Description:
A database of thousands of hand colored Japanese photographs from 1860-1899. Search by word (any or all fields), keyword (assigned subject), location (from image map), or browse by drawer number. Results returned include a thumbnail of the images with title and photographer. Clicking on the thumbnail brings up the images themselves which include descriptive comments (lots of history here) and as much information as is available about the photographer, date, and location of the photos. From the Nagasaki University Library.
