• Despite advances in the digitization of archival films, the translation of early applied colors into the digital domain has remained a critical issue for many reasons. Among the objectives of the Swiss project DIASTOR was the development of new approaches for the digitization and restoration of film colors, employing scientific analysis in conjunction with film historical research and software development. The project's research areas pertained to early applied colors and their digitization, including the aesthetic and historiographic consequences of the technical processes involved. Based on an early film example from the 1910s, this article presents several areas of that particular focus, which resonate with contemporary archival debates.
