"The Rock and Roll Years" TV programme linked famous songs of the past with the current events of the time, to put them in some kind of social context. Very popular programme.
How about an online tool that links your family photos with lots of different information about the day each was taken? This could include weather conditions, news stories, tv listings, pop chart, bestselling book chart etc. This might be a Flickr mash-up?
One problem lies in finding archives of some of these features. No TV listings archive exists, for UK programmes at any rate. Someone would have to manually trawl through old listings magazines and newspapers in public libraries to create some of these archives.
I'm going to email the BBC and see what they think about the idea. They may well keep old weather data for one thing.
