Map: Tartu linna plaan, 1914. Estonian National Archives
There are billions of maps in the archives
In Wikimedia Commons maps look like this
This is how they look like in archives
The maps need to be digitized
And georeferenced
Not restricted by copyright
Served through user-friendly interfaces
Referenced from Wikipedia
Used anywhere
Available for annotations
Semantically linked
Returned enriched to memory institutions
Even millions of items should be handled easily
Visualizing scenes from history or literature.
Routing with historical restrictions, road networks.
Linking places to their names across time and also to instances of maps that show them.
Creating historical maps for Wikipedia.
Geotagging historical photographs with the help of the historical maps from the same era.
Exploration of networked historical topics.
What could the maps be used for?
