1. create nested collections on Historypin
2. pull down lat/long, image link data
3. fetch links to Rumsey collection and/or Maptcha page for good zooms (some java?)
4. clean up bulk upload sheet (break down into different volumes)
5. bulk upload maps
6. (maybe–depends on licensing) rectify/warp volume level map
7. also a maybe depending on someone with coding chops: pull in Brooklyn volumes from NYPL
8. also maybe: look at process for doing this from Library of Congress
