Dear all,
We have a large collection of old maps and images of Ireland
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:British_Library/Mechanical_Curator_collection/Synoptic_index/Ireland>
that have been identified as part of an image release from the British
Library.
Currently they are on Flickr whilst we crowd source adding some metadata.
In particular we are looking for people to identify maps and plans so that
they can be georeferenced before they are added to Commons.
Volunteers to tag the maps and plans in the Irish images would be most
welcome,

Or just look and enjoy.
Regards
