[OSGeo Africa] Getting ancient SG diagrams into GIS

[Sindile Bidla]

Dear Henlie,

What I sometimes do is to see if I can relate an old diagram to its 
adjacent properties and perform geo-referencing  - but obviously this is 
also dependent on your use case. I would then make a note of such on my 
data.

Please also do send the diagrams.
