How to start your georeferencing project
Retour au centre d'aidePublié: 25 juillet 20211. Get Your Own Customized Georeferencer Website
Each institution gets a personalized web address like:
https://demo.georeferencer.com/docs/geosearch
→ Replace “demo” with your chosen name.
Your site includes your logo, fonts, and colors – it matches your institution’s branding.
2. Create a Project Landing Page
We recommend creating your own introduction page for the project.
You can include:
- Project description
 - Blog updates
 - Interactive widgets (see below)
 
3. Use Widgets to Show Progress
What are widgets?
Widgets are tools that show live stats from your georeferencing project:
- Total contributions
 - Leaderboards
 - Progress charts
 
How to use them:
- Embed them in your website using HTML iFrame
 - Or access the data in JSON format for custom use
 
📎 View all widgets and docs
(Replace “demo” with your institution's name)
4. Link Your Maps from Catalogs or Repositories
You can directly link individual maps from:
- Your library catalog
 - Digital archives
 - Institutional website
 
✅ Use simple link APIs to connect with the Georeferencer interface.

5. Get Results After the Project Ends
Once the georeferencing is done, you can export your results:
✅ Excel spreadsheet (.XLS) with:
- MARC 034 metadata
 - Bounding boxes
 - Geographic extents
 
✅ GeoTIFF download
Generate GeoTIFF files from the “This map” page.
✅ Map services (OGC WMTS)
Access via GIS tools like QGIS or ArcGIS (requires login).
