From
the Alabama Maps website under Georgia http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/us_states/georgia/index.htm
starting in the 1891 time frame there are a number of
Georgia Geological Survey maps posted.

Hi
Katie:
Thanks
for reminding everyone about the MAGIRT/WAML Map Scanning
Registry http://mapregistry.library.arizona.edu/)!
I’m the website manager, if anyone has anything to add
to the registry, contact me and I will send the login and
password to submit map scanning projects, whether
complete, in process, or planned.
Dave,
if you find any geology map scanning projects, it would be
great if you could refer them to the Map Scanning
Registry!
Thanks!
Chris

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.
