Historypin is a web-based tool that allows registered users to "pin" photos with associated information on the site. Users can browse maps based on site address and year or they can browse collections which contain photographs based on the same topic, such as the Under Construction collection which contains photos and information about famous landmarks during their construction phase.
Check out the Tours that lead users step-by-step through content, telling a story, exploring a place or walking through time. A Tour Around Bath showing the impact of the blitz of 1942 is one example of a tour.
