There's a ton of historical information existing in planet OSM today. Easy examples: any historic (no -al) building in any major city, historic districts or
blocks / quarters might be lifted directly. This will almost certainly also be the case for historical roads. Many modern roads cover similar courses, but with different dimensions and surfaces. </div>

I've been thinking we should have a script that pulls in buildings from the OSM history file that no longer exist. Simple way to keep short term history recorded.<br>

Anything that has an 'end-date' should be retained on the OHM if it is being deleted from OSM! But until there is a mechanism for archiving data, then it should not be deleted from OSM anyway.<span class="yiv3987244385HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
