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. http://docs.unh.edu/Hitchcock/pages/index.htm
