<p>I've used the NLS maps a lot and wish there were more maps from England available. Obviously this isn't a priority for them but would happily help in anyway I can. I have looked at their online georeferencer but almost all are done.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>It's a shame the English equivelant aren't as open.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<br>
<br>
I have been speaking with the National Library of Scotland (NLS) about their large collection of historic maps. Currently they provide a online collection of historic maps as set out on their website [1]. Some of these are georeferenced and can be used in OSM
[2]. There is lots more left to scan and georeference!! (Not all of them are Scotland maps, in fact there are many non-UK maps too).<br>
<br>
Question: Is anyone interested in helping georeference historic maps? The process is quite simple - NLS will do the scanning for us, we just need to follow the georeferencing guide [3] using a suitable piece of software such as QGIS (free).
<br>
<br>
If you are interested in helping, what maps would you like to see? I am thinking maybe detailed Town Plans*, but we could also look at some emerging places maps (e.g. Antarctica).<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Rob<br>
<br>
*) Some Scottish Town Plans have already been scanned and just need georeferencing:
