Notes de l'éditeur
- UK Digitisation programme School of History, Classics and Archaeology Edinburgh City libraries
- 20,000 historical maps of Scotland, 500 of Edinburgh and its environs Images, OCR text
- In the background the tool will facilitate the addition of the georeference to the OCR’d POD held in XML format in a database structure
- Search for address, surname, specific spatial area via bounding box, occupation
- We need the power of the crowd to ensure that the tool and sundry utilities reach their full potential
