I have tried rubbersheeting historical maps and had similar successes
and problems - at times it seemed like different portions of the maps
were created separately (and using different declinations) and then
glued together. However, it was pretty interesting and did help the
project a lot.
When I was in school taking a GIS diploma, we all had to do big
projects with real data, and I know many of us were unsuccessful in
finding a project that interested us and related to our previous
studies. So, there may be students at a local technical institute
who are looking for projects, if you have the data and time to spare.
Just a thought - I don't know if this is for a contract or research
or anything so I'm not sure if you could use volunteer labour.
