Historypin brings communities together. It gets people talking. About themselves. About their connections with each other. About the places they’ve lived, worked and played in. About the history that’s alive in the buildings and spaces around them. Historypin gives communities anywhere in the world the opportunity and tools to gather and share photos, documents, sounds, moving images, stories and oral histories relating to their local history.
Historypin was created by the not-for-profit company Shift (formerly We Are What We Do), as part of a unique partnership with Google. We now have over 2,500 institutional partners who have shared a quarter-million content items on Historypin, including libraries, archives, museums, schools, historical societies, commercial archives, and community groups; not to mention over 60,000 individual members.
