Georeferenced historic photos in Yosemite

I saw this guy present his project about revisiting sites of historic photography in Yosemite (1980's and 1910's,1920's). Obviously, it reminded me of our own VTM project.

Marek found this fellow watching him on the way home from field work.

Check out this cutie. A fisher from the SNAMP project. Marek was flying over this guy last week.
I am reinvigorating the mission to re-shoot the VTM photos. At least in the Bay Area. This was prompted by the recent Berkleyan article about the new UC reserve in Santa Clara County ("preserves oak-woodland ecosystem at urban/wildland interface"). I thought "I wonder if there are any pictures of the area from the VTM collection?" and had a search this weekend. Sure enough, there are some nice ones. So I've geo-located a few from around the bay to get us started. Any ideas on: automating the process; making an easy site to upload paired photos; an easy way to link Township/Range queries into gmaps... Any volunteers to do Santa Cruz County? Lots of great pics there. And check out the local logging history documented in the photos of the New Almaden quad.
I was going through the VTM photos for an upcoming talk at SFEI, and came across some of these RAD field photos of the VTM crew in action.
Love these photos. All courtesy of the Marian Koshland Bioscience and Natural Resources Library, University of California, Berkeley, www.lib.berkeley.edu/BIOS/vtm/.
Another lovely view of the SNAMP site - this one in the south
