PhotoAtlas

The Champaign County Historical Archives is pleased to announce our new PhotoAtlas web service. PhotoAtlas is an application that allows us to place our audio-visual files, along with their index records, on modern mapping software. This provides a rich geospatial context to the records of our local communities previously unavailable to us. We've started with a tour of historic downtown Urbana, and plan to add more tours with more multimedia files (including sound files, such as oral histories) in the very near future. In the meantime, we invite you to give it a try! Here is the link:
