-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Africa data source Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:26:16 -0400 From: Lisa Sweeney <[log in to unmask]> To: , [log in to unmask] I just discovered a website that has more detailed free GIS data for many countries in Africa than I've seen before: The Southern Africa Human-development Information Management System (SAHIMS) GIS Library http://www.sahims.net/gis/GIS%20input/GIS_Library_Regional.asp I also linked it at: http://libraries.mit.edu/gis/data/datalinks/continentdataweb.html This website has a fairly wide variety of things and a lot of it is at a level that is more detailed than by country. If you've looked for data for Africa before you'll probably find this exciting. enjoy, lisa ******************* Lisa Sweeney Head, GIS Services, MIT Libraries [log in to unmask] 617-258-5598 http://libraries.mit.edu/gis/
