[talk-au] Fwd: [OSM-talk] old Army Map Service Topographic Maps as WMS ?

[John Smith]

Since US Gov data isn't copyright I thought this might interest some
as there is some Australian maps...

Hi,

in the german mailing list, one of our fellow mapper posted a link to
the University of Texas Libraries collection of Army Maps.
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/ams/

He asked if it would be a source, he could use to name places in OSM.
So I forward this question and add my own.

Can we use it and would it be possible for someone to convert the maps
into a WMS format?

Even if some of the maps are from the 1940s, it would help to name
places in areas where we doesn't have local mapper or limited
ressources.
