program description
Maps, charts, globes, and GIS data are found in many archival collections—but how much do we really know about caring for them? Are we handling them correctly, describing them effectively, and providing thorough access to them? Are we maximizing their ability to support research and study? The Fall 2019 Meeting will bring us together to share experiences with these materials, demystify them, and learn from each other how to unlock their potential for all users.
