Resources on the SLV catalogue

Images in ergo all have links to the catalogue record for each item,

eg. A plan of Melbourne Port Phillip (Melbourne city grid)

P–7


The record will contain all bibliographic details, background/description of the item, and the subjects that it has been catalogued in.

Subjects are hyperlinked to searches for other items in that subject set,

eg. Melbourne (Vic.) Maps

P–8


Once you have searched for a subject, we recommend that you restrict your search to online resources so you can use them remotely.

You can do this from at the top of the search results, or under the ‘Show only’ heading in the left column

You can view the items by clicking on the ‘View online’ link.

Some are available to download in high-res tiff format

Historypin

The Historypin website is produced in partnership with Google and works best on Google Chrome

http://www.historypin.com

It is an interactive Google Mapthat allows you to pin content, including historical photos and overlays onto modern streetview.

Like this, but better!http://bit.ly/fkmH0e

P–13

iPad and iPhone apps

Historypin is available as a free iPad or iPhone app.

For taking modern day streetview pictures to overlay onto Google streetview, we recommend an app to take panoramic photos. There are many free apps availablefor this, eg. 360.
