City memory resources are important assets which enable us to preserve histories and pass on cultures. In terms of photograph resources amongst them, they can help to present city’s historical and cultural changes directly. These resources scatter around and are preserved in various places, by different groups such as archives, libraries and individuals. This research combines decentralized photographic resources with Geographic Information System (GIS), focusing on the figure, event, time and location of the photos to map them with geographic information in webpage and to display them productively. In order to meet the demand of reality, a metadata description proposal is designed, referring to DC and VRA standards. Another essential procedure is to formulate a four-tier classification system to correspond with the metadata proposals. As for visualization, we use Photo Waterfall and Time Line to display our resources in front end. Last but not the least, led by the Web 2.0 trend, we exploit an artistic, friendly, user involvement, expandable, and general historical display platform to show the historical and culture precipitation of Beijing.
