Once in a while, we find photos that are interesting and we want to know where the photo is taken. In these cases, we have a brief description available and we search a variety of sources: Globe and Mail and Toronto Star Archives, City Directories, Google Maps, and basic Google Searching. Even then, we don’t have the time (or the patience) to find the really hard ones!
Part of our strategy is to do crowdsourcing, where you can unleash your inner geek and help us solve a puzzle.
Try it out with our first example, Bear Creek Woodlot photos from the Lou Wise Collection.
