Mapping
Digital Archives
The EverythingPast project will open a window into history by
mapping genealogical data and archival records onto historical maps.
Share your archives
Sign up and become a part of this novel project. You can upload historical photographs and documents (over 100 years old), and securely share genealogical details of your ancestors. As we build a base of private archives and begin to work with public archives, you will gradually be able to discover more about your family history.
Map Interface
This map-based platform will merge historical maps, genealogical data and archival records, creating a novel way to access historical knowledge through a map interface. It will bring together public and private archives and allow you to discover and curate your own history.
