[Talk-bd] Fwd: Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Dear All,

FYI, for the Philippines, some maps of this collection were uploaded and
georeferenced on MapWarper:
http://maps.nypl.org/relief/layers/13

All it takes to generate the mosaic is for people to read the maps
corners coordinates, and enter them in MapWarper with a few clicks.

This was so positive that they are now considering extending it to a
collection of more than a thousand maps.

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem
