There is an online database planned for public sculpture in the UK. “The Public Monuments and Sculpture Association (PMSA) and the Public Catalogue Foundation (PCF) are planning to work together to create a searchable online database of the UK’s public sculpture from the 11th century onwards.

Hawaii now has Google Street View – or maybe it’s Google Beach View. “Starting today, you can take a trip to the Aloha state and explore even more of Hawaii’s hiking trails, parks, historical sites, and beaches using Street View on Google Maps. Last summer we announced our Trekker Loan Program with our first partner, the Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB). Since then, HVCB has been collecting Street View imagery of many popular and special places across the islands of Hawaii (the Big Island) and Oahu.”

It affects IE versions 6 through 11.”

There is a new digital archive of illuminated manuscripts on the way. “The Digital Layers online archive will explore stunning images of illuminated manuscripts using layer and zooming techniques inspired by internet mapping tools to show their historical, cultural and scientific secrets.”

Flickr’s going to get an interesting feature: “Now when a user posts a photo to the site, the camera’s EXIF (exchangeable image file format) data won’t just appear as a text description of the camera’s model and lens type, it will also include a slick line drawing of the uploaded information.”
