World Heritage sites and World Monuments can now be viewed online, in 360 degree panoramic imaging.
You can take a free virtual tour of almost any cultural and natural world-heritage site; 299 sites have been visited, 244 are already available and 55 will soon be uploaded to the WHTour.org website. This really is a quite extra-ordinary effort and a brilliantly executed website.

Anatolia is what used to be known by its Latin name of Asia Minor and further to recent posts about this region, here is a website that I came across which is a nicely put together
travel guide and photo gallery of Anatolia, Turkey.

An interesting exhibition of vintage photographs from the second half of the 19th century, is being run by the Department of Art and Archaeology at Princeton University. The exhibition in McCormick Hall, Princeton, New Jersey, USA, runs through September 28, 2007 and is called "Global Views: 19th-century Travel Photographs".
Early travel photographs are proving to be an important record of architectural and social history and this exhibition particularly illustrates how travel photographers documented historical monuments, archaeological sites and scenes of daily life from the Middle East and Asia, 100 to 150 years ago.
