  is a new, free way for archives and members of the public to share their history. Historypin allows users to overlay historic photographs on Google Street View and Google Maps, providing compelling windows into the past at the click of a button. Many major archives in Europe and the USA are already on board, and we're also developing community learning programmes in the UK and in New York.You can see a quick video about the project here, and you can see some examples of photographs here.
  Our content team can upload images for you, in time for the summer launch of the site, when our Historypin smartphone app will also be available; allowing people to go a step further, and view historic photo's while on location. Over the coming months we're aiming to develop a range of tools that will enable archives to show Historypin on their own websites - and even have their own bespoke apps.
  Over 40,000 photographs and stories from individuals and archives in Europe, the UK and the US, have already been uploaded, and received some great press coverage. Our current partners include San Francisco Municipal Transport Archive, The New York Transit Museum and PhillyHistory.org, with The New York Public Library and the Museum of the City of New York, getting on board imminently. Our archives section and the attached .pdf can offer you more information.
