ALA MAGERT Map Scanning Registry

ALA MAGERT Map Scanning Registry

The goals of the ALA MAGERT Map Scanning Registry are to:

Find out what scanning is being planned, in process, or complete for a particular geographic area
Head off any duplication of effort
Provide a resource to use for finding a particular digital image
Provide a resource for reviewing the various technical parameters used in different projects

We are interested in all map scanning projects, whether U.S. or international.
