Mapping Olde Novel York

Having used the New York Public Library's map collection to pose together a picayune Leaflet.js map of New York Vintage Maps I remembered that the library besides has a cracking collection of complimentary together with opened upwards access vintage photographs. I hence decided to accept wages of the library's collection of historical photographs of New York to add together roughly vintage photos of Lower Manhattan to the vintage maps of New York.

My New York Vintage Maps site hence immediately displays vintage maps which get got been georectified past times the New York Public Library's Map Warper project overlaid amongst former photos (and i or ii sketches) from the New York Public Library's Digital Collections.


My New York Map is manifestly inspired past times other cracking vintage map together with photographs sites such as Our Town Stories - Edinburgh together with Helsinki Ennen. The Helsinki map includes the selection to filter the maps together with photos past times 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.
