For those of you interested in old maps generally, you may already be aware of the site <a href="http://www.mapco.net/" class="">http://www.mapco.net/</a> which has a wide selection of freely-viewable historical maps of London and other places. They are only
images, and they are not digitised, however they are very useful for finding old places and tracking changes of street names. Note that they are copyrighted images so we can’t use them in OSM (as far as I can tell) - see
<a href="http://www.mapco.net/terms.htm" class="">http://www.mapco.net/terms.htm</a> - but for people who are generally interested in maps you might find it of interest! <br class="">

<div class="">I witnessed a fascinating presentation, this morning, on a project<br class="">
which has digitised the first map of London at building level, and<br class="">
overlays it with data from other sources:<br class="">

The data sets are freely available, but the British Library claims<br class="">
copyright over the map images - I'm sure some of you will have your<br class="">
own views about this.<br class="">
<br class="">
I shall notify the project's creator, Dr Matthew Sangster, about this<br class="">
post, and invite him to join this list. He would be a good speaker for<br class="">
a future OSM conference.<br class="">
