MAPS-L Colleagues;
Look what we missed at the Society of American Archivists Meeting this
summer (besides the humidity) ….
The next SAA is in Chicago. If anyone attended the below, I would be
interested in hearing the highlights, and I am so glad to hear somebody
is devoting time, expertise, and energies into the issues and mechanisms
associated with long term archival preservation of GIS data,
particularly because I know that it has not been me. To those who are,
THANKS!

This session highlights issues involved in developing and preserving
geospatial data. The largest private land owner in Hawaii, Kamehameha
Schools have implemented the Land Legacy Database to collect, index, and
disseminate the history and traditions of their lands, which support
their schools. The San Diego Supercomputer Center is working on
long-term preservation of geospatial data. The Maine State Archives
recently concluded a GeoArchives preservation and access project. The
speakers discuss the lessons learned at their institutions.
