Historypin is a project that allows people to view and share their personal history in a new way, created by the social movement We Are What We Do in partnership with Google.
These are photos the Historypin team has collected. Some of them are photos without copyright in the public domain, others are uploaded on behalf of archives and friends.
Historypin Repeats are created using the Historypin Smartphone App. They are modern replicas of your photos taken by other people or modern replicas of other person’s photos taken by you.
