Great stuff. I think a few hundred maps (if not all) from this collection
are already in the wikimaps warper.
However there was an issue with making a mosaic (stitched layer) for the
category, so this will be fixed soon.

The "warped" parameter in the wiki page enables the button for users to get
from the wiki to the warper. You can add it to the pages, or you can search
for them within the warper itself.

I think the British Library also has control points for the maps which
could be added to the warper when ready (I'd have to double check on this
point though).

Regards,

Tim
