Hello Susanna,
really nice to see.
Please forwarding your mail to historic OpenStreetMap project:
Email: historic@openstreetmap.org
Mailinglist archive: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
Wiki-page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OHM
They use OpenStreetMap techniques (JOSM, PostGIS, Mapnik,...) to create a vectorize database for historical content and have now the first test system online:
http://www.ohmap.org/?lat=47.6088&lon=-122.32834&zoom=15
I see a great potential if we can use OSM to reference historical maps , than historic-OSM can use these maps to vectorize elements and at the end we can use some of the elements in our articles (WIWOSM).
See you in Amsterdam.
Greeting kolossos
BTW: I hope we get really soon a decision from the foundation that we will have a full OSM database at WMlabs. We need it.

Hi Everyone!*Susanna Ånäs*
My name is Susanna Ånäs and I am active in the Finnish Wikimedia. We
have a cooperation project going with the Finnish National Archives with
their historical maps and this has given us the opportunity to look anew
at the Wikimaps environment.
http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiprojekti_Historialliset_kartat/In_english
Wikimaps was introduced as a concept by Maarten Dammers
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Multichill/Wikimaps. The idea is
to combine environments in Wikimedia to form a maps environment for
scanned (historical) maps. I introduced the idea at GLAM-Wiki in London
and I have my presentation slides on Sideshare at
http://www.slideshare.net/susannaanas/glam-wiki-wikimaps.
A test environment is planned to be put up for testing for the Amsterdam
Hackathon, more info to follow. Let's put up a Wikimaps page in
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimaps and gather material
there (Feel free to start, I have not yet had the time :)
Please let's discuss the project on this list!
Nice to know all of you!
Best regards,
Susanna
