Hi All,

The AGS Library is one of North America’s foremost
geography and map collections. Formerly the library and map collection of the American Geographical Society (AGS) of New York, it was
transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries in 1978
following a nationwide selection process. The AGS Library presently consists of over one million items, and includes maps, atlases, books, journals, pamphlets, photographs, slides, landsat images, and digital spatial data. The scope of the collection is worldwide.
The AGS Library digital spatial data clearing house actively collects and archives digital data. Data is made available to users in a variety of formats including digital base maps at various scales; attribute data on spatially referenced population characteristics, hydrologic units, geology, etc.; and raster images which include synoptic world views, satellite images of various places, orthophoto images and scanned maps.
The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee is an outstanding organization, known not only for its educational excellence, but also for its stature as an employer of choice within Milwaukee. UWM has a dedicated staff and faculty, and diverse and talented students from all parts of the world.
