[Freegis-list] Automated document geotagging

[anson@treebay.org]

Hi All,
Happy new year.  The Marshall Foundation library and archives wants to
geo-tag several thousand documents from the 1930's-1950's, from North
Africa to Europe and the Middle East.  All documents are to be released to
the public on a new server platform.  Are there any softwares that support
a more automated solution such as a "best guess" that could be altered
perhaps?  Wordpress has a plugin for smart tags that are able to cross
reference local documents.  We'd like to use something like the Fuzzy
Gazetteer in the same manner.


I greatly appreciate your response and suggestions.  We'd prefer open
source solutions greatly over proprietary systems,
Thank you,
Anson Parker
