Old Montreal
http://vieux.montreal.qc.ca/eng/accueila.htm

Photographs with 3D drawings of historic buildings and a live camera view (updated every 20 minutes) of the old walled section of Montreal demonstrate some of the potential of the Internet for urban historians. Especially noteworthy is the visually exciting section on "The Lighting Plan of Old Montreal" (http://vieux.montreal.qc.ca/planlum/eng/lu_intra.htm) that contains color night photographs informed with historical background, illustrations, and a lighting design map. For another informative database on Old Montreal, see (ADHEMAR, Base de données du Groupe de recherche sur Montréal at http://cca.qc.ca/adhemar).
