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.

Hi! There is a Russian project https://domofoto.ru directly on that. IDK if there’s same projects on other languages.

Such a beautiful project Nikolay, thank you! With a wide range of locales https://domofoto.ru/cities/ (here is Mykolaiv https://domofoto.ru/cities/138/). Do you know if they accept mundane houses and buildings? That might overload the current interface. And I wonder if a parallel interface into the same dataset that is localized / backed up would be helpful.

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