Old maps and plans of the United States to georeference
[edit]Wikimedia and the British Library are trying to georeference old maps and plans found in the Mechanical Curator collection, a set of 1 million digitised book illustrations from 19th century books. (See here for more information).
To see the maps and plans available to georeference, follow one of the purple to georef templated links below, that correspond to each section of this index page of titles related to the United States.
Placing these maps and plans on maps of the modern world ("georeferencing") gives them an accurate location and scale, which in turn should allow their ready upload to Wikimedia Commons with reasonably accurate automatic categorisation. An up-to-date index of the maps and plans already georeferenced can be found on the accompanying georeferencing done page. You may also wish to add your name to the Participants list on the talk page.
Maps and plans from other parts of the world can be found on this worldwide status page and completed page, including further maps that may relate to the United States in books on other index pages.
