Then+and+Now

Then and Now
media type="custom" key="26323174" A combination of today’s ubiquitous digital cameras/mobile devices, an increasing availability of historical images and easy to use editing software (including online tools), means we have a great opportunity to bring past and present together in photographic/video formats. Above is a remarkable example of a //Then and Now// video. Although the original video is a BFI copy of the work of the 1920s, cinematographer Claude Friese-Greene - there are many other historic open videos that would be suitable to be used in this. (check video archives on the sources page)

[|HistoryPin], is a growing platform that enables its users to pin their collected historic images on to Google Maps as an image thumbnail which is then clicked to open the image and any associated notes and metadata. The metadata includes Copyright status. Many of the images are CC licenced or in the public domain. There is also a schools project section.
