Is there an app for that?
While I don't personally have an iphone, (I went android instead) there loads of fun apps for the iphone from archives and museums. There a list of apps here but these are some of my favourites:
The John Murray Archive app (for iphone) from the NLS
This app gives you information about the 7 generations of the publishing dynasty and "includes audio-visual introductions, zoomable images, audio descriptions and collection galleries so you can discover and enjoy just some of the hundreds of thousands of items in this unique collection."
Walking through time app (for iphone & android) by Edinburgh College of Art and Edinburgh University.
This isn't publicly available yet but the idea is to allow users to view historical maps of their real-time location on their smartphone.
**Update** This is now available for public download and its free through the itunes store.
TNA app (for iphone)
This app from the national archives gives users a selection of images from the archives with the option to order prints of them as well as some background information and historical context.

We're really excited, and would be thrilled if you lovely folks would download it and give it a go! All feedback welcome.
