This opens the search website which gives you no
results (but at least brings you to the right page).
On that page, go to "Cartes et plans = Kaarten en
plannen", and this time, click on the correct
province. Then you see a list of municipalities (from
the 19th century, with old spelling), sorted by
arrondissement.
Then you can open the scan reader by clicking on the
image (not the title). You'll see that the map gets a
copyright mark, this means that the map as image is
protected. However, the data you can deduce from the map
isn't altered since the creation of it (it isn't
rectified nor georeferenced), so it's usable for OSM.
As there's no export option, the easiest way to use it is
to zoom in to certain parts, and make screenshots. I
normally made 4 screenshots for a normal village, with a
bit of overlap. However, the maps may be so skewed that
you need to adapt the reference points depending on the
part of boundary you're drawing.
I traversed province de Liège end to end and I found no need to make
screenshots.
In the list, I opened the small left icon below the cart and I get a
JPEG viewer or a "Mets viewer".
When I right click the picture, I am able to save a JPEG.
Same if clicking the line ("title") to get the details page and
clicking on the small bottom icon.
Quality is awful, though, what an idea to encode line drawing with
JPEG!
But I suspect that the other small icons are better quality (some of
them are TIFFs).
But their pages time out. I sent them an note.
Hoping it can help.
Cheers
Note that not all villages are present. Sometimes you're
lucky that all surrounding villages of a certain village are
present, then you also have the boundaries. Other times, it
might take guesswork, or using even worse (older) maps.

Sander
