Introduction

Georeferencer gives libraries and archives a simple way to make their scanned map collections more attractive, engage the general public, make overlays with other maps, deliver standardized Web Map Service (OGC WMS), and at the same time also enrich existing metadata records with numerical spatial footprint to allow comfortable geographical searching.

Components for your website (so-called “Widgets”)

These tools are available directly in the web browser, without the need to install any software neither in the institution nor on the side of the online visitors and Institutions are encouraged to implement their own website presenting the crowdsourcing project landing page and possibly also blog or other widgets.
