'''[https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/ Open Historical Map]''' ('''OHM''') is a site that uses the OpenStreetMap (OSM) software stack as a foundation for building an open source, user-editable historical map. This project's goal is to create the world's most universal, detailed, and out-of-date map. It's almost like taking all of the old maps and historical maps we can find and combining them into one. OHM will focus on the mapping the geo-objects that OSM is great at mapping - shorelines, political boundaries, buildings, ways, and points of interest. Future and other efforts may engage in discussing historical actions, events, people, and movable items.


<div style="flex: 3; display: grid; grid-gap: 0.5em; gap: 0.5em; grid-template-columns: 1fr; align-items: start; align-content: start;">
'''[[OHM Contributors]]''' include members of the OSM community, academic dataset providers, historical societies, digital humanities students and faculty, armchair historians, open data providers, open data enthusiasts, and any number of other map data creators. This is not to discount the innumerable number of software developers who have contributed time and energy to the rich set of OSM software and tools that also make OHM possible, but they are not included, in this strictest sense in "OHM Contributors," which refers to data contributors.

[[Open Historical Map/Contributing|OpenHistoricalMap welcomes contributions]] of map data from the general public. [[Open Historical Map/Tags|OHM's tagging guide]] supplements OSM's [[map features]] with some adjustments to accommodate historical mapping. Information about using historic imagery and maps with OHM is being put in the new [[Open Historical Map/Imagery]] page.

To contribute to OpenHistoricalMap, go to [https://www.openhistoricalmap.org/ the main map], zoom in to a place of interest, and click the "Edit" button. If you are familiar with editing OpenStreetMap, the OpenHistoricalMap editing experience is very similar. See '''[[Open Historical Map/Tags|the tagging guidelines]]''' for information on a few changes we've made to accommodate the time dimension.
OHM's community is a civil, sharing, and respectful group. That said, codifying what that means is important and we have done so. [https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/ohm-website/blob/staging/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md Read the details of the OHM Code of Conduct here].


We also maintain several software projects to facilitate map contributions and data reuse. Please report any issues and send us your ideas [https://github.com/OpenHistoricalMap/issues/issues/ on GitHub].

OpenHistoricalMap - Other languages

OpenHistoricalMap goes beyond the present, mapping places throughout the world… throughout the ages. No community is too small, no story too obscure to add to this map. Everyone has something to contribute, including you!

Contribute

To contribute to OpenHistoricalMap, go to the main map, zoom in to a place of interest, and click the "Edit" button. If you are familiar with editing OpenStreetMap, the OpenHistoricalMap editing experience is very similar. See the tagging guidelines for information on a few changes we've made to accommodate the time dimension.

We also maintain several software projects to facilitate map contributions and data reuse. Please report any issues and send us your ideas on GitHub.

Then and now
