More info here: http://twistedsifter.com/2013/08/historic-black-white-photos-colorized/ and one of the main dude who does it's Facebook page is worth a look:

Couple of sub-reddits on..erm...Reddit [url= http://www.reddit.com/r/ColorizedHistory/ ]here[/url] and [url= http://www.reddit.com/r/Colorization ]here[/url].

The one below is the most recent to blow me away. The amount of research the guy put in to make sure all the logos etc were correct, not even getting into the technical skill, is amazing.

it's not just the colouring in, it's the increased definition.
colour adds SO much to these pictures - it puts you there.
I especially like it where they show the B&W version too.

thanks OP.
