Hi Katie:
Thanks for reminding everyone about the MAGIRT/WAML Map Scanning
Registry http://mapregistry.library.arizona.edu/)! I'm the website
manager, if anyone has anything to add to the registry, contact me and I
will send the login and password to submit map scanning projects,
whether complete, in process, or planned.
Dave, if you find any geology map scanning projects, it would be great
if you could refer them to the Map Scanning Registry!
Thanks!

Hi Dave,
In answer to your second question, there is a map scanning registry
sponsored by the Map and Geospatial Information Roundtable of the
American Library Association (MAGIRT) and the Western Association of Map
Libraries (WAML): http://mapregistry.library.arizona.edu/. You'll see
links on the home page also to the registry of US government documents
and a suggestion for searching Worldcat. (I'm the current president of
WAML, and while I can't speak for the rest of the exec board or MAGIRT,
I'd be happy to talk if you wanted to work together in some capacity on
the registry if you thought that would be helpful in some way.)
I think the registry can always use some promotion so folks remember to
document their projects and collections in it, so this is a good time to
plug its usefulness! So, all maps-l denizens, if you answer Dave back
that you have done some scanning and your collection is not in the
registry---please add it! J

This is my first note to this listserve, and so I'm a bit apprehensive
about whether my questions are relevant. Here goes...
(1) I need to find certain paper or scanned geologic maps of Georgia,
to include in the National Geologic Map Database's "mapView" interface
(http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/maps/mapview/). We've got the USGS maps, but
have an incomplete set of Georgia Geologic Survey maps, and those by
other publishers. /(This holds true for other states as well, and
especially for the newer maps, which are born-digital...)/
If you have Georgia GS maps in your library, or have scanned them, would
you please contact me so we can compare notes?
(2) My project (National Geologic Map Database) is busily scanning USGS
and other-agency geoscience maps and reports. We coordinate with the
USGS Publications Warehouse and State Geological Surveys, doing our best
to be aware of "who's scanned what", but we know that some duplication
of effort is inevitable.
Does there exist, or is there interest in developing, a registry of
publications for which a complete and high-quality scan is available or
is scheduled to be scanned, and which organization holds that scan? I'm
guessing this question has been asked many times before and so, as a
Listserve-newcomer, I apologize in advance for not knowing the answer!
Regards.
