As is his custom Tim @wragge Sherratt undersells (above) what he's done.
He's programmatically geolocated "18,603 out of 20,644 photos" digitised by #StateLibraryVIC.
Tim: "When I started working on the collection I wasn’t really sure what was possible." So he learnt, tried, adapted, all with a goal in mind. Tim has an uncommon mind and set of skills. And uncommon productivity. His article is easy to read - if needed one can skim the more technical detail. Tim documents his methods to be shared.

Years ago I started with just this scrap piece of paper and sketched these main #Adelaide intersections in the 1840s.
This evolved into digital #historicalMapping using #uMap (which makes all the work look easy) and #mapWarper. I've now geolocated 257 works with latitude, longitude and view bearing.
I recently added the Victorian diggings 1852 to the maps.Search the list of mapped works: https://coombe.id.au/S_T_Gill/index_of_works.htm#Mapped

In 1851 George French Angas went from Sydney to the NSW gold diggings via the Blue Mountains. This map shows his sketches along the way and corrects the dating on these drawings in #NationalLibraryAU collection. (This map was a side activity in the #S_T_Gill project.) #historyAU #historyNSW #historicalMapping

#StateLibraryNSW has a surprisingly large number of South Australian colonial artworks. I've finished updating SLNSW links to their new catalogue from my #S_T_Gill project. This includes my maps of 1840s #SouthAustralia and #Adelaide which are now practically complete. Mapping using #uMap (OpenStreetMap).

Interested in #Melbourne and regional #VictoriaAU built heritage? Then do check out @wragge's digital mapping of 1970s Committee for Urban Action (CUA) photographs from the #StateLibraryVIC collection. Currently includes inner Melbourne suburbs and goldfields towns. Zoom in, click on a street! #historicalMapping

My #artHistory project already links catalogue entries to map locations where known. But it was only zooming in to location and pin. I've now incorporated #uMap permalinks to also popup the artwork information panel. I also do this for the address of the artist's studios. #historicalMapping #S_T_Gill
For example, see: https://coombe.id.au/S_T_Gill/S_T_Gill_1847.htm which has studio location and location of "Floraville" view.

Invention for four colour (map) printing - blue, yellow, red, black - now our CYMK. #historicalMapping #1840s William Clowes, London
The "sheet of pure white drawing paper is ... perfectly unconscious of the impending fate that awaits it"!
