Discussion/General
I find color photos from the 1950s and earlier really interesting. But whenever I search for these kinds of photos I mostly get colorized photos, which are still kind of neat, but these are ultimately someone's best guess of what the colors might have looked like. Is there a good search term to find photos that were originally taken with color film, so as to exclude photos that were shot on B&W film and then later painted in?

Using brand names of films in your searches might work, like Kodachrome, Ektachrome, etc.
small footnote: the "chrome" suffix usually indicated the film was slide (positive) film, not print (negative) film. E.g., Kodachrome (slide) vs. Kodacolor (print); Fujichrome (slide) vs. Fujicolor (print).
Carbro was a color process and is a nice but limited search term. Three color process is a good term. Process camera.
