I see people have rectified about 10 of the nuig sheets so far. I've been adding them to the JOSM imagery list as I spot them.
If you can't wait, adding the sheets to josm can be done self-service on josm wiki: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Maps/Ireland I've also added them to the map viewer webpage at: http://maps.openstreetmap.ie/civilparish_barony.html Donal On 11 February 2015 at 00:24, Dave Corley <[email protected]> wrote: > This is fantastic news, nice work Brian & Donal. > On 11 Feb 2015 00:30, "Donal Diamond" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Good news! > > > > I went hunting for map sheets that show Civil Parish boundaries and > found a > > new source at NUIG. > > > > Brian Hollinshead (brianh) kindly liased with the James Hardiman Library, > > National University of Ireland, Galway and got permission for use of map > > sheets for OSM use. > > > > http://archives.library.nuigalway.ie/memorial/memorial-atlas.html > > > > I've uploaded some of the sheets to mapwarper here: > > > > http://mapwarper.net/maps/tag/Memorial%20Atlas%20of%20Ireland > > > > And I've started a map viewer where u can overlay townlands, civil > parishes > > and baronies at: > > > > > > > http://maps.openstreetmap.ie/civilparish_barony.html?zoom=9&lat=52.61135&lon=-7.97937&layers=BFTTFFFF > > > > Carlow is also available in Josm imagery list. > > > > The Civil parish boundaries on the map sheets correspond to our townland > > boundaries quite well but I have found the odd error.
