Hi,
This might be interesting for those interested in Dutch (colonial) history: last week I did an donation of 512 maps and images from the proceedings of the Dutch Parliament (the so-called States Generalhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:States_General_of_the_Netherlands. They are from the period 1885-1995.
The images are in Category:Media contributed by Tweede Kamerhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Media_contributed_by_Tweede_Kamer. Every image has geo coordinates for the map centre.
The set has some unique content, not only about the Netherlands, but also about its former colonies Dutch East-Indies (now Indonesia) and Suriname. Themes include the Delta Works, polders, land reclamation and the construction of roads, railways, and ports. To foster reuse, I started assigning thematic categories to some images, for example Eastern Scheldthttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Eastern_Scheldt, Delta Workshttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Delta_Works, Canals in Frieslandhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Canals_in_Friesland, IJsselmeerhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:IJsselmeer and Railway lines in the Netherlandshttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Railway_lines_in_the_Netherlands
Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards
