Historypin is a collaborative platform that connects communities with local history by allowing the sharing of photos, videos, and stories tied to specific locations. It enables participants to contribute images and narratives related to heritage sites, creating a visually rich and interactive resource.

For GRASSROOTS ideas this tool is ideal, supporting heritage and cultural preservation efforts by enabling participants to contribute and interact by pinning historical content related to heritage sites to maps. By pinning these contributions to maps, Historypin helps create an engaging, visually rich resource that brings local history to life. Historypin enhances educational tours, helps preserve cultural heritage, and enables a deeper connection between participants and the places they visit. It’s a valuable tool for eco-tourism businesses focused on local history and community engagement.
