When I was working at a museum with an extensive photographic collection,
I started thinking about scanning the photographs into a computer and 
using the images to create a 'four-dimensional' model of the city.  That
is, you'd have photographic images of the same areas taken at different
times, and try to piece them together with old maps to form a model
that you could move through geographically (3D) and chronologically (4D).

Never really got anywhere, since they didn't have the equipment, but it
would be an interesting project.  With something like this, you could
have hyper-links to textual information, too.
