We have improved our links with the Allmaps project, so that any of our maps can be freely, collaboratively georeferenced and then brought back into our Georeferenced Maps viewer 🗺️

Managed to link up Allmaps and Recogito
Added labelled polygons to the map using Recogito, georeferenced the map with Allmaps, and used the Allmaps OpenLayers plugin to warp both the image and the transcription polygon.
Not bad for a one day's vibe coding

Figured out today that many of the Library of Virginia's digitized maps are served using IIIF under the hood, which means they can be georeferenced with Allmaps and (soon!) tools like @oldinsurancemaps.net.
Prepare yourselves for a slew of georeferenced historic maps of Richmond!!

An update on the future of the Allmaps project:
Sadly, on April 17, 2025, we learned that the federal government terminated many NEH grants, including ours. The notification stated that our grant’s termination was “necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government.”
