• Project Description: The objective of digitally archiving all 675 plates from Bowker and Hughes' "Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas" is nearing completion. Each Lunar Orbiter 16" x 20" print was captured using the Olympus D-600L digital camera and digitally recorded as a ~1 megabyte, grayscale, jpeg formatted image. Image resolution is 300 m/pixel or 60% lower resolution than the original hardcopy print. The digital Lunar Orbiter Atlas of the Moon is a reproduction of the 675 plates contained in Bowker and Hughes. The digital archive, however, offers many improvements upon its original hardbound predecessor. Multiple search capabilities were added to the database to expedite locating images and features of interest. For accuracy and usability, surface feature information has been updated and improved. Lastly, to aid in feature identification, a companion image containing feature annotation has been included.

Borchert Map Library is in the process of digitizing 12 plat books that represent 13 volumes altogether and that range in date from 1884 to 1916. One title covers all of Minnesota geographically, while the other books focus on the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, defined as Hennepin, Ramsey, Carver, Scott, Dakota, Washington, and Anoka Counties. These rare books represent one of the most requested components of the map library's collection for reference and research, and this digitization project will allow many patrons to consult maps without the need to access physically the pages of these fragile materials. High-resolution images will not be readily available for download, but they can be purchased at low cost. Once the images have been made available online, please make such requests known using the contact information below.

• Years: 1919 - 1945
• Project Description: Main objective: To scan and provide unrestricted access to all maps published by the Wojskowy Instytut Geograficzny (1919 - 1945) of Poland. The maps cover the pre-1939 Poland and some neighboring areas and were drawn in the 1: 10 000 to 1: 500 000. They are often the only trace of the landmarks and human dwellings destroyed during and after WW2 and as such provide invaluable insight into the past. At present paper copies of those maps are available in both the US and Poland libraries as well as in private collections. They are accessible on-site (several US libraries) but in Poland and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe access is severely restricted, or in some cases, the maps are completely off-bound to visitors. We aim to fill in the gap by making the maps available online to all the people who might be interested in the maps for any reason, be it genealogy, history, recreation or etnography. Related objectives: 1. To geo-reference the maps for use with GPS receivers and (potentially) to link them to a modern database of satellite images provided by Google Earth. 2. To provide searchable database of map-associated placenames, mainly for genealogy purposes. 3. To scan and make available all other topographic and tourist maps of the area of Central Europe dated (approx.) 1870 -1945, mainly by K.u.K Militaer-geografisches Institut (Austria) and Reichsamt fuer Landesaufnahme (Germany)in order to provide cross-reference of information available from WIG maps.

Title: Nineteenth-century maps of Minnesota | Geographic Area: Minnesota | Organization: University of Minnesota Libraries, John R. Borchert Map Library [edit] [delete]
Descriptive Information

• URL:
• Project Status: In-Process
• Geographic Area: Minnesota
• Publisher: Varies
• Metadata Compiled: Yes
• Metadata Format: Dublin Core (slightly modified)
• Number of Items: 63
• Scale: Varies
• Years: 1849 - 1899
• Project Description: The University of Minnesota Libraries' John R. Borchert Map Library is in the process of digitizing 63 historical maps of Minnesota from its collection of rare maps. These maps are unique not only in their artistic appeal but in their ability to portray visually the region's transition through history from a young territory in 1849 to a rapidly developing state in 1899. These often hand-colored maps are of great value to a diverse, interdisciplinary audience. Most of the maps in this collection assist researchers in several disciplines by portraying the continually evolving boundaries of the territory or state, counties, and townships at the time of publication. In this way these materials document the development of Minnesota as a political entity, the progress of the westward settlement of Minnesota, and the progress of the federal government's official public land survey which was conducted in Minnesota between 1848 and 1907. One of the qualities that makes this collection unique is that it consists of one or several maps of Minnesota for almost every year between 1849 and 1899, allowing very close inspection of minute boundary changes across the region. High-resolution images will not be readily available for download, but they can be purchased at low cost. Once the images have been made available online, please make such requests known using the contact information below.

Title: North Carolina Geologic Maps Scanning and Georeferencing Project | Geographic Area: North Carolina; maps partially extend into bordering states of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina | Organization: NCSU Libraries [edit] [delete]

• Project Description: Abstract Geologic and topographic maps are being collected, scanned, georeferenced, and preserved by the NCSU Libraries as part of the North Carolina Geospatial Data Archiving Project in collaboration with the US Library of Congress. The legacy geologic and topographic maps have no digital counterparts and paper copies are scarcely accessible. Geologic and historic maps are in high demand, and are critical for earth science instruction and research. Digital georeferencing provides new capabilities not possible with paper maps by allowing other data to be overlaid by using GIS software. Geologic maps, including collars, are scanned to a 300dpi TIF file with a large format (42 inch) scanner. Using ArcMap 9.1's georeferencing extension, at least four geographic locations were interactively selected from the TIFF based on coordinates and grids printed on the maps. ArcMap creates a table of these selected coordinate values, and with USACE CoprsCon software, each coordinate pair is converted to NC Stateplane NAD83 meters and then appended to the table. ArcMap then creates a .TFW world file and transforms the TIFF image so that it is represented in the data view in Stateplane Coordinates. Each image file is rectified with ArcInfo workstation and compressed with MrSID. As of March 2006, the inventory consists of 115 U.S. Geological Survey geologic maps, 136 North Carolina Geological Survey geologic maps, 47 maps from theses and dissertations, and 165 legacy 15-minute topographic maps, all of which are backed up on multiple secure servers. Data are disseminated through the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources and NCSU Libraries, and contributed to NCOneMap and the National Geologic Map Database and National Geologic Map Image Library.

• Years: 1891 - 1969
• Project Description: The NCSU Libraries has compiled an extensive collection of historical topographic map images of North Carolina that can be downloaded for free from the Web site http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/gis/historictopos.html. The collection contains superseded US Geological Survey and US Army topographic maps, with dates ranging from 1891 to the 1960s. Over one-third of the maps were published prior to World War II and are known as "15-minute maps" because they cover 15 minutes of latitude and longitude. Many of the printed originals are maintained in a collection by the North Carolina Geological Survey (NCGS). Others were loaned by the UNC Maps Collection for scanning. The digital collection is composed of both georeferenced JPEG 2000 format images and lossless (unaltered) non-georeferenced JPEG 2000 images. JPEG 2000 is a relatively new, yet widely supported image format that offers superior compression performance. The georeferenced images may be used in GIS software to provide a historical basemap when overlaid with other current spatial data to identify changes in landscape features. The lossless images, when plotted, appear nearly identical to the original scanned map. To find the map image you would like to view, you can scroll the list online and pick from the map sheet names. Alternatively, you can use the index shapefiles or Google Earth KML index files to identify the maps that cover your area of interest.
