# Finding Pictures: Mid-Century Color Photography

After nearly a century of monochromatic images, Kodak’s Kodachrome transparency film burst onto the photography market in 1936, allowing photographers to capture scenes in vibrant full color. Competing products soon followed, allowing color image-making to become available to all. In this virtual talk, Leigh Gleason explores color photographs in the Prints and Photograph collections from the 1930s to the 1970s, and shows how you can see color images at home and on-site at the Library of Congress.
