DISCOVER UNSEEN IMAGES

Join Magnum Photos in a historic project to digitize our Paris archive's vast color library, which has been dormant for decades. The archive embodies the pre-digital age of the agency — a portal back to the second half of the 20th century, when the press encouraged the shift towards color.

Dating from the 1950s to the early 2000s, many of the 650,000 color slides have remained — until now — unseen to the public eye. With the help of Magnum’s Archive and Production teams, and Fujifilm’s GFX digital systems, a selection of images will be brought to light every month.
