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.
