Toponym Extraction workflow

work in progress – images still to come

Start with a non-georeferenced image that has been processed with MapReader and the geoJSON resulting from that processing

If the image is already hosted with a IIIF service like Stanford’s SDR or DavidRumsey.com, skip to step 2.

  1. Upload image(s) to Internet Archive to create a IIIF manifest

Get Started with IIIF on Internet Archive guide: https://iiif.io/guides/guides/archive.org/
