*NEW LAB, SOFTWARE, MAP ROOM, BROCHURE*
Manoa MAGIS (Maps, Aerials & GIS) is pleased to announce the opening of
its new area in the basement of Hamilton Library. Our maps are all in
one place now and we now have a brand new MAGIS lab featuring 8 GIS
workstations. The workstations feature ArcGIS, ENVI, MS-Office and
Adobe Creative Suite.
The lab will be open Monday to Thursday, 1-5 when school is in session
for Fall 2010 starting September 6, 2010.
For details on software support, please check out

*NEW GIS DATA*
To help us commemorate our new (old) area, we have put a set of new
georeferenced maps on-line. These are much sought after Historical Maps
of Hawaii, 1885-1904. These can be viewed or downloaded here:
