Historypin was built with Google and they provided invaluable support throughout the process.

update: Nice introduction to HistoryPin with this video.



"Historypin is a online tool that acts as a digital time machine, allowing people to view and share history in a totally new way."

Hypercities - Time Line Maps

Hypercities - Time Line Maps

A nice integration with a time-line and old maps.

Hypercities - Old Maps with Time-line
Using the time-line can narrow down dated maps for display in a particular city
More than one map can be overlaid and opacity can be controlled for each individual map.

Hypercities Maps in Rome
Rome has many old maps - worth checking out.

Note: There are option for 3D (GoogleEarth Browser plugin required) however the old map tiles do not seem to appear in the 3D version.
