Historypin - Sunday Times

Interesting story today in the Sunday Times magazine, p22, by John-Paul Flintoff titled ”Our Ghosts in the Machine”. He covers several approaches to putting historic images on the internet.
Scanning through the article you’ll notice it covers Historypin in some depth, although sadly he doesn’t mention that we’re the official
photo scanning partner for the service. The article looks at other ways of adding a historic dimension to modern images and locations. On the opening two pages you can see a great spread of images taken from Historypin which will inspire many people to look at the main site, as of this morning showing 10,966 photos.
Inspired, you might want to join in, I hope you do. If you don’t have your old photos available in a digital form contact us.
