The University of Florida has scanned all of the 15' Quadrangles and older
scale maps of Florida.  These have been loaded on a shared website of
Florida institutions called the Publication of Archival Library and Museum
Materials.  To view go to: http://palmm.fcla.edu  I am very pleased with the
results, which were done by our Digital Library Center.  If you have any
technical questions please contact Erich Kesse, Head of the George A
Smathers Digital Library Center at:  [log in to unmask]

A while ago, I had heard that a project might be done to scan all of the
older scale topographic quadrangles but have not heard anything recently.

Our Library plans to scan the older 7.5 minute Florida quadrangles in the
future.  However, our current priorities are the antique map collection,
Florida Aerials and Sanborn maps.

Please email me if you wish to contact our GIS specialist.

We are starting to digitize our collection of superseded 7.5 minute maps
of Tennessee. Is any one else out there doing such a thing? I have seen
that the University of Alabama has already done this for their state
(http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/historicalmaps/counties.html). I'm wondering if
anyone has heard if this is a project that might be done at a national
level.


Also, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using scanned maps with
any programs such as ContentDM. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Travis
