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

[AssetBurned]

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.
