Tim SherrattHelp me turn the State Library Victoria's digitised maps into data!
As part of my residency at the SLV LAB, I've been experimenting with using Allmaps and @IIIF to georeference the Library's maps. Georeferencing relates a digitised map to real world geography. It describes the map's position and extent using geospatial coordinates – turning historic documents into geospatial data that can be visualised and manipulated.
I've now created an experimental workflow that enables *anyone* to start georeferencing the SLV's digitised maps. It's fully documented here: https://wragge.github.io/slv-allmaps/
If you love maps, the SLV, or just playing with data, you might like to have a go and georeference some maps. I'm pretty excited about the possibilities, and I'm keen to see how many maps we can process before the end of my residency in December. To see how things are progressing, I've also created a project dashboard: https://wragge.github.io/slv-allmaps/dashboard.html
