[Talk-GB] 'Romantic London' - reusing Horwood's 1790's map

I witnessed a fascinating presentation, this morning, on a project which has digitised the first map of London at building level, and overlays it with data from other sources: http://www.romanticlondon.org/ The data sets are freely available, but the British Library claims copyright over the

For those of you interested in old maps generally, you may already be aware of the site http://www.mapco.net/ which has a wide selection of freely-viewable historical maps of London and other places. They are only images, and they are not digitised, however they are very useful for finding old

Re: [Talk-GB] 'Romantic London' - reusing Horwood's 1790's map

There are several old maps of London on wikimedia, notably Roque's of 1745 & Greenwood's of 1830. There is no reason why these should not be processed using MapWarper (can be done directly using the wikimedia instance). I have some notes from a seminar I attended at Nottingham University last

I suspect that the BL use Klokan 's tools, rather than the NYPL MapWarper stack which is what is on Wikimedia. Jerry On 27 October 2015 at 17:02, Dan S wrote: > 2015-10-27 14:40 GMT+00:00 Richard Symonds < >

Hi, Please make further enquires to the dataset owner to confirm the terms of re-use and possible release under the ODbL. If in doubt, please don’t import it, but as long as you use good faith in trying to justify ODbL imports and with good planning, no problemo. (Sorry about emailing under

Very nice! The map sync really makes it interesting to explore. My house is off the side of the map, unfortunately, but where my university now stands was "Bencroft's Alms Houses" :) Thanks Dan 2015-10-27 13:30 GMT+00:00 Andy Mabbett : > I witnessed a fascinating
