Hi,

I'm a PhD student of transport studies from University of Leeds. I have no geography background.
I want to study the change of road network of a city in China over past 40 years. So I have this vague idea to construct road network from old maps but I don't know how to start.
I have been reading OSM historical wiki page and related blogs since yesterday, and I'm amazed by works people have done. But due to my limited knowledge in this field, I still have difficulty to start.
Is there any suggestion how can I get started? A little experiment would be fine.
Thanks!

Jingyan
