<div dir="ltr">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: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://maps.nls.uk/towns/index.html">http://maps.nls.uk/towns/index.html</a><br>
