The library says it volition live on 'a searchable atlas of New York City's by stitched together from the pages of former maps. (Think Google Maps, amongst a fourth dimension slider)'.
The projection volition initiative of all this year. For at in ane lawsuit the library are quest for anyone who mightiness similar to attention to become far touch. To create the projection they desire to take away heed from interested information partners, developers & information wranglers in addition to advisors.
The launch page for the NYC Space/Time Directory likewise makes bully go of Mauricio Giraldo Arteaga's ScrollNYC. As yous scroll downwards the project's launch page a serial of static vintage maps of New York appear in contrary chronological order.
