Avencia was recently featured in a front page article in ESRI's Government Matters Publication, a publication for state and local governments. The article featured Avencia's work with the City of Philadelphia Department of Records on a website which enables users to browse, by location, for thousands of historic photos (http://www.phillyhistory.org). The Philadelphia Department of Records has over 2 million photographs dating back to 1865. Among these photographs are stunning pictures of ships arriving at dock, horse-drawn carriages on cobble streets, historic mansions and the Eastern State Penitentiary, America’s most important historic prison. Today, the public can search for over 30,000 of these photographs by location, view the photographs online, and purchase prints to be delivered to their home or office. You can visit the site and purchase prints online at http://www.phillyhistory.org.
