There are hundreds of thousands of apps now available for
your smart phone or tablet. There are
many genealogy related ones designed to assist the recording and researching of
your family history but if you have an interest in local history there are some
worth exploring too.
Inside
History regularly review apps and have a section on their
website
Although there are none (that I know of) which pertain particularly
to our region the following apps may be of interest:
Although
popular with family history researchers, BillionGraves would be one among these of
special interest also to local historians . HistoryPin based out of the UK is
growing to be a worldwide resource for historical photographs in conjunction
with its website. Most of the world’s major art galleries and museums
all have apps for their collections now.
But
some others you might like to check out include:
State
Library of Victoria - Ned
Kelly
Grove
(library) community history from Western Australia
International
Westminster Archives in London have just released a
treasure hunt app (scroll down and link to app store)
Are there any others that should be added to the list?
