I hadn’t been back to see the Landscape Change Program in a little while. Turns out they’ve made some really cool interface improvements. Now you can zoom in on images, see where an image was taken on google maps, discuss images, and create your own photo albums, among other things. See if you can spot the bicyclist in this early 20th century photograph taken at Shelburne farms.

Pretty neat, huh? If you’re looking for more images from Vermont’s past (and even present), you might start at the search page, where you can see a randomly selected image, drill down to your town using the interactive map, or - and this is my favorite - try to identify a mystery image.

Wow. Since I’ve just recently crested a ridge in a mountain of project work (only to see that I’m halfway there), I’ve taken a swing at cleaning and archiving my inbox.

Among the messages was one that I must have missed. It included a link to the DIL (DIL being short for Digital Initiatives Librarian), a blog documenting the work being done at our nascent Center for Digital Initiatives. Exciting stuff, and it’s always fun to find a new member of the UVM blogosphere.
