[HOT] OSM in historical research

[Katie McDonough]

Dear HOT community,

I am writing to see if there are others on the listserv who use OSM (or OpenHistoricalMap) to study & teach about the past. For example, I am a historian of early modern France, and I use OSM in an undergraduate course on the history of mapping from the renaissance to the present.

I’m compiling a resource for other humanities scholars who may be interested in using OSM as part of their research workflows or teaching. If you are willing to describe how you use OSM, I would be very glad to hear from you. If anyone has suggestions for other groups to reach out to, I would be grateful.

Many thanks,
