[OHM] Fwd: Thanks for attending the NYPL/OHM Birds of a Feather session at SOTMUS15

[Susanna Ånäs]

Thanks for sharing the wrap up!

I would love to participate in the hack remotely in any possible way. Could
you set up at least a common hackpad or equivalent, settle on an irc
channel...

Hope to hack tonight!
Susanna

> Getting Started (Better Training Coming!):

> 1) Sign up for an account!  http://www.openhistoricalmap.org/ (probably
> http://mapwarper.net, too!)
>
> 2) Sign up for the mail list:
> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
>
> 3) Download JOSM:https://josm.openstreetmap.de/
>
> 4) Find an old map you'd like to trace - either:
>     a) Find wms or tms for an old historical map you'd like to map in OHM:
> e.g. http://maps.nypl.org/warper/maps?show_warped=1 (browsing) or
> http://www.mapwarper.net/maps/9674#Export_tab (wms-specific info)
>          OR
>     b) Find a GEOTIFF for an old historical map you'd like to map in OHM:
> e.g. anywhere on the web or on that export tab at maps.nypl.org/warper or
> mapwarper.net
>          OR
>     c) Find an old map you'd like to trace, georeference it on
> www.mapwarper.net & then use that as a tileserver (see (a)!)
>
> 5) Point JOSM to OHM:
> JOSM -> Preferences -> Connection Settings -> OSM Server URL:
> http://www.openhistoricalmap.org/api
>
> 6) Add your geotiff or wms as a baselayer to JOSM:
> wms/tms: JOSM -> Preferences -> Imagery Preferences -> +WMS or +TMS
> GEOTIFF: Imagery -> Rectified image
>
> 7) Start mapping the same way you would for OSM
>
> 8) Don't forget! Please tag objects with:
> - start_date: YYYY-MM-DD
> - end_date: YYYY-MM-DD
> - source_map: URL
> - whatever else you need to / feel like tagging to show source of the info!
>
> 9) Ask questions!!! historic at openstreetmap.org or IRC
>
> 10) Let everyone know what you've done! Tweet, mail, whatever!
