Description:

The Missouri History Museum's Historic St. Louis App invites you to step back in time and re-discover the city through historical photography from MHM's Photograph and Prints Collection.

Historic St. Louis opens a window onto the past. App users can:

• Pinpoint the location of images dating back to the city's earliest photographs (the 1850s).
• Use the GPS enabled map to easily navigate to the same spot where the photographer once stood.
• Enable the image overlay, placing the historical image over the phone's camera view—providing a compelling "then and now" vantage point.
• Share images with friends and family through email, Twitter, and Facebook.

The Missouri History Museum's Photographs and Prints collection documents the physical growth of St. Louis and surrounding communities, prominent citizens, industries and institutions, important community events, and the everyday life of the region's diverse inhabitants.

Produced by the Missouri History Museum and Historypin.com. Sponsored by the Gallop Family Foundation.

Improvements needed

The app keeps crashing on my iPhone 5s or freezing, but when it doesn't, it works pretty nicely. It looks like it was designed in 2008 and is not optimized for iPhone 5 or 6/6 plus. But the pictures are good quality. I would love to see more content added in the future.

Great app!

It's good to see many pictures from the museum (St. Louis car manufacturers along Olive), and many only first seen here. Thank you, Missouri History Museum and your development team!

I can see my house from here!

Well, not actually...yet. They've barely scratched the surface but this is already awesome. If they continue to add more photos and information this will be worth hours of exploration. Love seeing St Louis in a new (actually old) light. Keep it up!

Fascinating for any St. Louisan

This is an unbelievable app - great job history museum! If you have any interest in STL, urban history, genealogy, you will probably find yourself lost in this app like me! So far it works with no bugs, and is well organized. The only problem is when you try and map a photo, it sends you to the map app w the latitude/longitude and the photo caption...you have to remove the photo caption. Well done!

Very cool

Awesome how they mapped the location of the photos. It really gives you an idea how certain streets looked back in the day.

Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
Facebook
The iOS SDK provides Facebook Platform support for iOS apps
MessageUI
The Message UI framework provides specialized view controllers for presenting standard composition interfaces for email and SMS (Short Messaging Service) text messages. Use these interfaces to add message delivery capabilities without requiring the user to leave your app.
SBJson for Objective-C
SBJson (aka json-framework) JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a light-weight data interchange format that's easy to read and write for humans and computers alike. This library implements strict JSON parsing and generation in Objective-C.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
