Philly to go
Filed Under History, United States | Leave a Comment
PhillyHistory.org, an online repository of more than 43,000 historic photos covering the history of the city of Philadelphia has now gone mobile. PhillyHistory Mobile is the portable companion site which offers a geographic-based search interface where users can query by address, intersection, keyword, or historic date to find nearby historic or cultural sites. A list of results is returned to the user, and clicking on any one of the results brings up the photo along with a map of the photo’s location. The search capabilities are built using ESRI’s ArcGIS Server and ArcIMS software.
