Hi Kate, I prefer some of the less obvious examples;
Peter's Piece Plantation [1] is mentioned in the book "Notes on the chase of the wild red deer in the counties of Devon and Somerset : with an appendix descriptive of remarkable runs and incidents connected with the chase from the year 1780 to the year 1860" [2] Such an example, I think, really goes against the whole online maps "wiping out history" [3] claim. On a slightly different note, we use OSM to display the location of (most) the archaeological sites we've worked on [4] and our offices [5]. I'd be really interested to see any OSM tweets / results that come out of THATCamp.
