Project Description

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.

Use of Tags on Historypin

This Historypin example of a school in Lousiville, KY shows how tags are commonly used to describe photographs and provide subject access beyond location and date. Though tags cannot be edited by the casual visitor, notice the "Suggest more accurate details" option provided. Unlike the description, tags are searchable.
