Because California is such a big state, we discovered that we'd been independently scanning portions of our collections and making them available. In order to avoid duplicating efforts we developed a listserv to coordinate efforts. Several libraries had already initiated projects. The following links are to some of their web sites. Feel free to contact me for more information about the overall project. Kathy Stroud, Map/GIS Librarian Government Information and Maps Peter J.
