Are there any projects in the vein of Geograph https://geograph.co.uk/, OSM, Yelp, or Wikipedia for people remembering and preserving images and information about cities, city blocks, buildings? Particularly for cities that are damaged by disaster or war, this seems like a valuable thing to do at the granularity of "the unit that individuals photograph, remember, share with one another".
It would be good to have a freely-licensed structural history of a city in this fashion, block by block. And something that refugees from a crisis could do to preserve areas they frequented.

Couldn't you do this with a combination of Wikidata items + Commons categories + Wikishootme?
Thanks, Mike

There are small projects like localwikis and regiowikis but I suppose the largest players are still Mapillary and KartaView (formerly OpenStreetView) combined with OpenStreetMap.
OsmAnd has a button to upload photos to https://openplacereviews.org/ for every point of interest. StreetComplete does not have such a quest.
I'm not sure what's the availability of the Mapillary and KartaView datasets in data dumps at the moment. Of course there are privacy considerations: https://engineering.grab.com/protecting-personal-data-in-grabs-imagery
Some research papers mention KartaView but nevertheless proceed with using Google StreetView as their source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8126193/
