Based out of the University of Victoria, the Mountain Legacy Project (MLP) is dedicated to "explor[ing] all that changes in Canada's mountain landscape" and "understanding the how and why ecosystems, landscapes, human communities change over time." As part of this project, the MLP has collected numerous historic photographs of Canada's mountains, which visitors can examine through the MLP Explorer. On the Explorer, which is accessible from the site's homepage, historic and contemporary photographs alike are organized on a Google Map via a series of pins. Each pin represents a historic photograph. Gray pins contain historic photos and red pins include contemporary photographs (often accompanied by additional field notes), allowing visitors to examine how a particular site has changed over time. Visitors can also search this collection by surveyor.
