Wikiklima is a web project designed to allow to easily compare historical maps (raster images) - whatever the position, rotation, distortion. The project has already been implemented and it's really promising, and WMCH has offered to host the project in the WMCH infrastructure.
Example usage: compare two images of the same glacier taken from different perspectives, to do estimations like «40 meters of ice are melted in the second photo». etc.
