These are hosted on the server space donated by Topomancy LLC to the OSM-Historic/OHM project.<br>
<br>
The domains were originally registered in 2009 when we in Topomancy were exploring OSM with the New York Public Library (NYPL), for whom we have managed the Map Warper <a href="http://maps.nypl.org" target="_blank">http://maps.nypl.org</a> since 2008.<br>
<br>
It's great that we now have a nascent community! The server is a Hetzner EX4 package which is super-fast and has tonnes of disk space for all our historical geo-data.<br>
<br>
Let's make this rock! Thanks to all here for initiating this, especially Mikel Maron who started this list. Jeff and Rob can follow up, they already have accounts on the server and we have confirmed admin policies.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
