Historypin

The Historypin website is worth looking at. It locates historic photographs of places all over the world, and draws from major collections, such as Powerhouse and Museums Victoria. Our Local Studies Librarian, John, has been adding some of our photographs of Manly to the site, which is at www.historypin.com and also amending data on photos from other collections which have inaccurate information. It is early days, but the site is already substantial. Enter Manly NSW in the search box to see what’s up already.

Dick Eastman has also been talking about Historypin on his blog recently, which may give you a few more ideas.
