Adding NYPL Maps to the Warper catalog

[scspaeth]

The NYPL Digital Collections ( http://digitalcollections.nypl.org ) contain some public domain maps which are not in the Map Warper catalog ( http://maps.nypl.org/warper/maps?utf8=✓&field=text&query= ). Can authenticated warpers add maps from the digitalcollections to the warper/maps or does that require higher authorization?

For example, this search in the warper catalog: http://maps.nypl.org/warper/maps?utf8=%E2%9C%93&field=text&query=Virginia&from=1602&to=1656&show_warped=0 finds the cover pseudo-map: http://maps.nypl.org/warper/maps/12893 And a Dutch derivative: http://maps.nypl.org/warper/maps/13113 But not the original map from the same source: http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/510d47da-c3c7-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99

it is possible that this Virginia map has not made its run through to the warper because it was just digitized. do you have another example?

I have another example but it comes from the same source. I'll keep my eyes out for others. In reference to the current example, how long should it take for it to work through the process and appear in the Warper catalog?

the warper image set is updated at the beginning of the month. it is also possible that the map in question was not scanned in as high resolution for it to be useful in the warper. the whole scanning-metadata-web-warper process is rather complicated and many things could be in the way of the map appearing in the warper. i will close this for now. hopefully this map will make its way to the warper soon.

Thanks for the updates and insights.
