Window into or to the past?

I've got a title of a blogpost about local history I'm writing that's "Window Into the Past" and now I'm wondering if that is correct, or should it be "Window To the Past"? The meaning I want to convey is that the blogpost is a window that allows you to see the place I'm writing about as it was 100 years ago.

The expression is "window on the past". You don't go through the window, you merely look through it.
