<div dir="ltr">Hi Susanna - <div><br></div><div>This sounds like a great project!</div><div><br></div><div>Much of what you're describing sounds similar to the workflow we're thinking about here on the OHM list - digitize & georeference old maps, and then translate that data into OSM-style vector information for rendering of historic-based tiles, give t, x, y, and z.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Have you given any thought to using OHM as a part of your workflow? If not, how could we make it appealing and usable for your goals?</div><div><br></div><div>- Jeff</div><div>
