Feature Request - Historic mapping information for towns and counties - Geolocate

[ewommack]

From AWG meeting today, during a conversation about the improvements for Berkeley Mapper I suggested that it would be great to be able to look at historic map data for georeferencing museum objects.

@mkoo - you suggested this would be a good suggestion to make to Geolocate. To start off the process, I'm opening this issue to track things from the Arctos side.

Historic map data would be really helpful for figuring out localities for objects that were collected in the past, especially those that have less precise locality info (e.g. a town name).

Here are Geolocates contact info: https://www.geo-locate.org/support.html,
I'm not sure how we propose a new idea to them though.
