MapTime is a Meet-Up for people who are new to mapping. I think it was started by people out of California. In our local chapter, we learned about things like OSM, Leaflet (a javascript library), and QGIS (open source mapping software.)
There are also some Map Librarians who work mostly in university libraries who are very knowledgeable who may be helpful with the creation of historical maps.
OSM also sponsors the State of the Map conferences. We just had the State of the Map US earlier this month in Arizona. It looks like there will be another State of the Map conference in August in Italy.
