Historypin is a online tool that acts as a digital time machine, allowing people to view and share history in a totally new way.
Using Google Maps and Street View technology, Historypin aims to become the largest user-generated archive of the world’s historical images and stories.
The site invites the public to dig out, upload and pin their own old photos, as well as the stories behind them, onto the Historypin map. Uniquely, Historypin allows users to layer their old images onto modern Street View scenes, revealing a series of windows into the past.
Historypin is a global project. It was launched in London in June 2010 and in the next few years there will be events and projects held all over the world over.
