Any Old Time

Did you get an “A” in history class, or were you daunted by dates and only interested in the few photos in your massive textbook?

Historypin, is a new interactive website that will make those history class nappers nostalgic for yesteryears they never even experienced.

History is not about the timelines and facts you memorized in 10th grade anymore; it is vivid, exciting and personal with Historypin.

Say you find old photos but aren’t sure where or when they were taken. Upload them to Historypin and voila, the images are dated and pinned onto Google Maps for the world to see.

Interested in seeing what San Francisco looked like after the 1906 earthquake? Maybe you want to see the small town in Italy where your nonna grew up.

Historypin will let you explore images that are on the site by place and date. Compare how your neighborhood looked 200 years ago versus today. You will feel as if you jumped into a time machine as you search this visual history map.

Go in the attic, ask your relatives, hit thrift stores for old photos and put them on Historypin. Seeing history come to life through personal images and captivating stories is a great way to bring generations together.

Oh, and you just might become a history buff after all, even if it’s too late for that “A.”
