Note that WIkisource has a portal for the survey, with scans

Fae,

Wouldn't it be more useful to categorise the categories rather than the
images? Most of the individual images will be far newer than Domesday,
especially those of trees and buildings. Plus the categories are rather
fewer in number.

NB that "Domesday survey" also works. (Not a synonym! Interesting but
off-topic here.)

It's nasty and weak, I'm only picking up image pages that mention
"Domesday Book". Luckily this seems to be quite a few, but in no way
will be exhaustive or guaranteed to be fully accurate. It's a kick
start only, hence leaving this as a hidden category for now. For those
that know certain areas, this might be a good start for manual
corrections, or to add similar information to related nearby photos
that do not mention Domesday.

If there is enough interest, we could ask a bot writer to use a
standard location list to add Domesday categories more widely to
geotagged images. It would be beyond my current bot skills though.

Andy's note encouraged me to send off a bot to populate
.

The bot has only just started, it may take a while to finish! So don't
go renaming the category or anything daft for at least a day, but just
having this category might kick off some creative ideas.

Cheers,

Thank you.

Yes; I'm in contact with Anna Powell-Smith, who spoke about OD at the
Wikimedia-UK AGM and who set up the Domesday wikiproject.

If you "curate" an en.Wikipedia page about place in the UK, and it
appeared in the Domesday Book, please add the OpenDomesday template:
