This demonstration application uses OpenLayers 2.13, a JQuery UI transparency slider and MapTiler georeferenced mosaics to form a viewer for the OS six-inch 1843-1882 maps of Scotland as an historical georeferenced map mosaic. Searching is possible by zooming in on the map, with an option to change the map base layer between OpenStreetMap, Bing and Google layers. Searching is also possible by using a Nominatim gazetteer, a British National Grid Reference, as well as historic county and parish drop-down lists.
The application is a customised version of the NLSExploreGeoreferencedMaps Github repository and application, sharing a similar interface, use of OpenLayers, gazetteer search and css.
The application accompanies the NLSFindMapsByPlace Github repository and application, sharing a similar interface, use of OpenLayers, gazetteer search and css.
