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.

Historypin's use of Visual Access



Visual access is the use of pictures to optimize subject access to pictures. One common example is the use of thumbnails. Historypin places the thumbnails on a map, their search page being the "Map" page, allowing the user to search and browse pictures visually.
