In my workshop I put together a how-to for georeferencing scanned historic maps. I could put one together that's more generic if there is interest.

Hey;
I think the QGIS solution has the most going for it. In the Distributed
Maps project, http://imlsmap.lib.uconn.edu/ we built a metadata editor
tool which is freely downloadable. One of the research initiatives
that came out of that project are to add a geo-referencing module to
the editor to streamline the scanning, describing, geo-referencing and
publishing; and QGIS is the best choice. Both are written in python.
Marcel, do you have a step-by-step process for using QGIS?

Hi Maps-L,
The UC Berkeley Earth Sciences and Map Library staff are working toward
georeferencing many of the maps that are scanned here at the library. As
we're still in the planning stages for this undertaking, I was
wondering if
anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with specific
georeferencing software?
Ideally, we're looking for a solution that could be easily inserted
into the
scanning workflow and used by specialists and non-specialists alike.
Maybe
something lightweight and open source?
Any information or experiences you'd like to share is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
--
