With old pictures the problem's likely to be getting them scanned. How  
many of us have good intentions of scanning old family photos that  
have been in the proverbial shoe box for years? You could offer a  
scanning service. ;)

One other thought I had was having some way of moving backwards and  
forwards in time for a given location. Of course your mass would need  
to have gone a long way past critical for that to become a big issue.
