Historypin.org is an online archive of historical photos, videos and audio recordings which are pinned by users throughout the globe. It was created by the non-profit organization Shift with initial support from Google in 2011, as part of a series of commitments to digital inclusion. The idea was initially to create communities, sharing their memories and experiences of people and places that matter to them. Historypin also runs projects with local communities, to help gather and digitize photos, and build up collections which can then be shared throughout the world. To date, over 60,000 individuals and community groups, and 2,500 libraries, archives, museums, schools and universities have run thousands of projects, pinning in over 75 countries.
