Oops! #OpenHistoricalMap was supposed to be a map of history, but then the linguists found us and turned us into an accidental map of the history of writing. @mxn shows how we and @maplibre are bringing #HGIS to more language traditions all over the world:

Ran a fun Palestine Open Maps mapathon yesterday with Yara Sa'di-Ibraheem. She's researching communications infrastructure in Palestine during the British colonial era, so we extracted the telecom infrastructure in the historical maps using the Tasking Manager, based on Yara's paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polgeo.2024.103242
We got a lot of work done! Blue squares are the ones that have been worked on. There's a long way to go, but good progress.

En 2013, un groupe de personnes (@ohm) lança "la carte la plus universelle, détaillée et périmée du monde" : Open Historical Map https://www.openhistoricalmap.org
12 ans plus tard, je l'ai découverte :-) via son intégration au logiciel de généalogie libre #gramps

It is such a nice feeling when you find that last source that allows you to add something to OpenHistoricalMap after scouring old newspapers. I've been adding old theaters in my home town and have been making nice progress.
