[Publib] Library Uses Google to Merge Maps and Historical Photos

[Andy Barnett]

McMillan Memorial Library has unveiled a new way to access its 
collection of historical photographs, one that combines street maps, 
the Internet and digital images. The resulting mashup has repurposed 
a seventy year old book using web 2.0 tools to allow viewers to walk 
down the streets of Wisconsin Rapids as they used to be. The new 
service can be viewed at
