A guide to using the free Historypin app to share placed-based digital history collections and virtual tours.

How to Create Collections

Collections are groupings of content (photos, audio, video) around a particular topic or theme or event. Collections can be created by any user and they can include their own content and other users' content.

How to Create Tours

Tours lead you step-by-step through a series of pieces of content via a narrative that links them together, giving users a rich journey through a place, era, theme, event or personal story. Tours can be created by any user and they can include their own content and other users' content.
