Historypin is now available on the internet. On this site, you can post pictures, videos or stories from the past and link them to places on the globe, or at certain events. It is like travelling through history. You can build collections, or follow a complete tour. E.G. in the collections, there is a serial on monuments under construction (like the Eiffel Tower). You can also opt just to browse a map of the world, filled with ‘pins’ of information – sort of a virtual globe. A short introduction to Historypin can always be found here.
