Diskussion Museum Computer Group: User generated / crowd-sourced geotagging? I'll just give one practical example..  Take an image such as one of the Normandy landings from the Imperial War Museum - http://bit.ly/cIr4zG.  The description tells us it was taken in Villers-Bocage.  I could then (or perhaps even an automated tool could) generate tags that put it in that locality.  And then someone who lives or visits there should be able to track it down pretty easily.  In fact people have done such things - see http://virtualfunzone.com/normandy-1944-then-and-now.html - but for all their effort, without that relatively small step that such a tool would have facilitated nothing has gone back to the original images.  Without that an opportunity of providing an enhanced experience, whether through a web tool like HistoryPin or via a mobile based AR app, is lost.

"This article provides an overview for anyone producing content about thesetwo options. We argue that most content producers should focus on the mobileweb, especially if they want to make their content more widely accessible.Mobile apps may be appropriate if looking for new sources of revenue, ordeep user engagement, but many other factors make the mobile web the moresensible platform for most content producers. I'll provide a detailed comparison of both mobile web and apps for thedissemination of content focusing on the following: making contentaccessible, dealing with a multitude of devices and platforms, cost ofproduction, control over what content can be published, leveraging socialnetworks and search engines, features (such as ability to access users'location), user engagement, and monetization."

19th Century Poor Law Union and Workhouse Records: You can search and download documents from a number of Poor Law Unions across England and Wales, from series reference MH 12. We are fortunate to be able to provide free access to the records because this is a project by The National Archives with the aid of, and in partnership with, volunteers in several parts of the country.

The National Archives is the central advisory body on the care of records and archives, in all media, from creation to long-term preservation. These pages contain information for owners and custodians of records, archivists, special collection librarians, records managers and conservators.

A small JISC grant has enabled a group of us to give public access tohistorical maps from the National Library of Scotland and Landmark (OSmaps).  The maps centre around Edinburgh but there is also a map from 1890 forLondon. It's a free app for the iPhone at the moment and if we have enoughsuccess we're hoping to encourage Landmark to release the maps for theentire UK. We'd appreciate any thoughts or comments from the museum group.
