Sharing with you a test site I am currently working on called Ph MapWarper:
http://ec2-50-17-155-14.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ It is free and open access online catalog of Philippine paper maps. Where you can find maps and other imagery, upload, and rectify against a real map. You can then download and use the rectified map in your mapping applications. This is a fork of Tim Waters map warper/rectifier [0]. For video tutorial on how to use the app, check out NYPL's video [1 and 2]. At the moment, we have uploaded several hundreds of 1950's topo maps ready for rectification. In the future, I see this as an additional resource for OSM. Feel free to play around, this is still in beta and hosted on Amazon EC2 Micro instance (maybe slow at times). Enjoy!
