In this project, we are a small archive creating a local history project for seventh grade students. We are scanning a collection of photos of local landmarks and putting them on the site Historypin, which integrates them with the modern view. The students will be able to see the locations on a map and "walk" down the street. They can see the overlayed old photos fade into the modern images (courtesy of Google Street View), giving them a clear idea of how the town has changed over time.

Tours on Historypin
The "Tours" function, one of neatest features of Historypin, overlays historical photographs onto Google Earth imaging and allows the user to easily fade between then and now. This example is from the Beatlemania tour.
