- contact (researching - Mark)
Topo and geo maps by the MGI/IGM (1947-1976)
- 1950s maps _MIGHT_ be an acceptable source, ongoing research
- 1948-1950, 1:20000, Lambert projection
- need to find decent sources (preferably digitised)
- analog source: Koninklijke Bibliotheek/Bibliothèque Royale, Brussels, http://193.190.242.138/scripts/mgwms32.dll?P0=NKBR&P1=1_JAN&P9=&P5=20&P4=&P2=4&P3=R_BBH&P6=91_1050829
The Atlas der Buurtwegen / Atlas des chemins vicinaux
- It might be acceptable as a source for openstreetmap work. This needs some legal research though! It mostly dates from the 1840's. http://www.gisoost.be/metadata/atlasbw/AtlasBW_Leesmij.pdf (NL), even if specific to Oost-Vlaanderen in some places, is really worth a read.
- Four Flemish provinces have digitised them:
- Antwerpen: http://www.provant.be/bestuur/grondgebied/gis/atlas_buurtwegen/Raadplegen.jsp
- Limburg: http://gis.limburg.be/gislimburg/index.html (some maps/links are working if you replace 'http://pc02651' with 'http://gis.limburg.be')

Boundaries
- The Department of Modern and Contemporary History of Ghent University has a HISGIS project, where you can see historical data, including boundaries. They were contacted, but currently do not work with external partners. The work is copyrighted by the UGent. (Cheezycrust 10:13, 7 January 2009 (UTC))
Bike Node Networks
- Fietsnet has mapped 11550 kilometers of bike node networks in Flanders and parts of The Netherlands. Contacted for possible co-operation. (Cheezycrust 10:13, 7 January 2009 (UTC))
- But based on some routes I've come to the conclusion that at least part of their tracks are based on the original maps, and not made with a gps. So we have to be careful with reusing their data. --Eimai 10:18, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
RAVeL Network maps
- Cartographie RAVeL Walloon region has mapped the RAVeL trail tracks network (old rail tracks, etc...) in Wallonia (as well as other network such as "PICVerts"). Contacted for possible co-operation. (Phuba 10:30, 26 July 2009 (UTC))
