New Mapping Olde Novel York

Having used the New York Public Library's map collection to seat together a piffling Leaflet.js map of New York Vintage Maps I remembered that the library too has a bully collection of complimentary in addition to opened upwards access vintage photographs. I thus decided to get got wages of the library's collection of historical photographs of New York to add together closed to vintage photos of Lower Manhattan to the vintage maps of New York.

My New York Vintage Maps site thus straight off displays vintage maps which get got been georectified yesteryear the New York Public Library's Map Warper project overlaid alongside onetime photos (and i or 2 sketches) from the New York Public Library's Digital Collections.

My New York Map is manifestly inspired yesteryear other bully vintage map in addition to photographs sites such as Our Town Stories - Edinburgh in addition to Helsinki Ennen. The Helsinki map includes the selection to filter the maps in addition to photos yesteryear decade, allowing you lot to stance the historical photos of the metropolis on a map from the same decade. In the futurity I promise to add together a like filter to the New York Vintage Maps collection.
