Folks:
You
might be interested in these William Smith documents
(including the map) digitized by UNH Professor Emeritus,
Cecil Schneer.
http://www.unh.edu/esci/WilliamSmiths-StrataIdentified/index.html
UNH
has a full scale replica of the map on display in James
Hall. The Library was considered as a place for the
replica, but we had no tall wall with good accessibility.
Unfortunately,
the website does not record the details of the digitization,
but like Stanford’s effort, it was pretty complex.
Closer
to home for us in NH is this video about the restoration of
Charles Hitchcock’s relief map, also located in James Hall:
And
some information from our library website about Hitchcock.
Sometime in the next year we will be changing the interface
for the digital version of the Hitchcock atlas used as
source document for the relief map restoration (Hitchcock’s
original geology on the relief map was “updated” in the
1930’s.

Hi, all,
I thought you'd be interested in this
blog post about the digitization of the William Smith
map in our map scanning lab.
Enjoy!
Best,
Julie
