I think that's a great idea, the more maps there are the better the mapping. It can be hard to read some parts of the GSGS maps so having a backup would be handy.

I was recently approached to see if I was interested in some used OS sheets for OSM use and said Yes please. They include over 400 real OS sheets (a small number are copies), of 6" (75% or so) 25"and few 50". 85%+ out of copyright by print date. Many 1840s and others 1910s either new or revisions. Offaly, Sligo, Tipp, Westmeath, Wexford, Wicklow, Meath, Kilkenny, Limerick, Louth, Kildare, Waterford and Dublin. Also some townland index sheets. While the 6inch are more readable than the GSGS scans we already have they are in effect duplicates. More interesting are the larger scale sheets particularly in or on the edge of now urban areas. As a trial I took a photo of the 5 feet = 1 mile 1903 sheet of Taghmon, Wexford and imported it into JOSM and geo-rectified it in a few minutes using the piclayer plugin. Worked very well. I propose bringing a small sample of the sheets next week and some photos (by camera) that can be experimented with/learnt on if there is any interest. If those coming are working on a particular county please reply here and I will try to include some in the samples I bring. I suggest that we consider offering those still in copyright or those of no benefit to us first to the local county Libraries and perhaps then to Local history Societies. Partly for safe archival reasons but also as an OSM publicity and goodwill tool. *Please discuss.* Looking forward to your opinions and meeting up next week.
