Mushups - possible library use

Mushups can have a use in the library - location maps (street and aerial) on the location of the libraries with images and information about opening hours, and directions to. Mushups could be used to show images of library development over time, or the building of a new library - including images, video footage, verbal commentary, with maps on new or existing location . . . Like other Library 2.0 technologies, for use of a better word, mushups use is limited only by the imagination of the user and the available technology / equipment.
Mashups take may and varied forms, they can be simple or extensive in their content, the example below is from BigHugeLabs where an image has been altered into a jigsaw.

It's amazing how easy mashups are. I wonder in future what library material people will want to mashup? Perhaps photos from our local history databases?
