An obvious suggestion would be to produce OSM-based maps with the location of the monuments and to put them in the lists (similar to the Google Earth layer idea, but now it would be free), but (1) I do not know how easy this is to realize in an automatic or semi-automatic regime; (ii) there have been recently some license changes, I am not sure how they affect the compatibility.
Like http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/wlm/wlm-on-osm_api.php ?

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind. Amsterdam is special, but in most countries/cities monuments are alone-standing houses which are shon in OSM, and OSM may be also interested in marking them as monuments.
We wanted to make such a cooperation with OSM Poland - but it failed - mainly due to lack of commitment from Polish OSM community. I guess - we should rather use OSM data and make our own map service, by adding our slice of data. OSM people generaly like to edit OSM maps and it is hard to persuade them to do something extra :-) This is just like persuading devoted Wikipedians to do something extra outside Wikipedia...
