I am addressing this to the list thinking that others might have the
same question and interest. Are there plans to include geologic maps in
the Harvard digital collection? Harvard has played such a seminal role
in studying New England geology through geologic mapping by faculty and
students and using the maps as a platform for further studies that they
have great historical as well as scientific value.
