What is Pictorian
The wealth of images available in the Nation Archives of Australia is simply amazing. Digital relics of our humble beginnings documented, catalogued and locked away. Pictorian aims to provide a simple interface to discover, explore and share these treasures on today's modern social networks.

This was a solo mission taken on by Chris, a Sydney-based freelance web deb.

Thanks to GovHack for putting this together. It was a top weekend packed with great ideas, talent and caffeine! The Government's open data initiative will foreseeably develop after GovHack 2012 and make for even better event next year.
