About this app
Ripple Time Map turns the world around you into a portal to the past. Open the app, look at the map, and see historic photos pinned to the exact places where they were taken — sometimes a hundred years ago, sometimes ten.
Walk down a familiar street and watch it transform. The corner store used to be a streetcar stop. The empty lot used to be a theater. The waterfront used to look completely different. Every pin is a small window into how a place became what it is today.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Explore an interactive map of historical photos
- See photos taken right where you're standing
- Browse by neighborhood, era, or theme
- Read the story behind each photo
- Contribute your own historical photos to the public archive
- Help build a living, crowdsourced history of every place
WHO IT'S FOR
History buffs, curious locals, travelers who want to see places with new eyes, photographers, urban explorers, and anyone who's ever walked past a building and wondered what used to be there.
