What sorts of things do georeferenced maps make possible? This interface turns a street address into a point, finds georeferenced maps from the SLV that include that point, then displays the historic maps with a marker showing the location of the modern address. #slvresidency

The OpenHistoricalMap database will be in read-only mode for a planned upgrade next Monday, November 24, at 19:00 UTC. We expect the upgrade to take approximately 3 hours. During that time, you won’t be able to save any changes, but you’ll be able to view and query the map as usual. Thank you […]

There's a new version of the AllMaps editor out, which means I'll need to update my SLV georeferencing documentation! It works the same, but some things have been moved or added. Now includes a 'search' option in the georefencing panel that should make it easier to match maps.

It was a privilege to introduce the software #internationalization and #localization community to #openhistoricalmap (and #OpenStreetMap and @maplibre) at #utw2025. Join us in mapping yesterday already!
