<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">If your map is from 1908,
there is a change that its projection is not in the official
modern EPSG table. In that case you need to derive the whole PROJ4
definition from the legend of the map. As a rule, this is not
difficult, as the theoretical definitions of the common projection
have been known for a long time, it's just a matter of discovering
which particular set of parameters has been chosen for this map.
In my experience with old Dutch maps the main difficulty is
finding out which ellipsoid has been used. In your case, a map of
1908 can in no way have had a WGS84 datum. You probably have to
project it to a modern projection with the original ellipsoid, and
from that to WGS84.<br>
<br>
Can you give any details of the maps you are working with and
whether their legends say something said about the projection? Are
they part of a larger map series?<br>

<br>
Did someone have any problems using Mapserver with
Gauss-Krüger?<br>
I know that Mapserver is compatible with proj.4 library
and the proj.4 library supports Gauss-Krüger. But I dont
know how to use it. <br>
Somebody could help me?<br clear="all">
