ALA MAGIRT Map Scanning Registry• http://mapregistry.library.arizona.edu/• Launched in 2006• The ALA MAGIRT Map Scanning
Registry and the Western Association of Map Libraries (WAML) Scanning Project Clearinghouse have now been combined together

U.S. Government Digitization Projects Registry
• http://registry.fdlp.gov/• Serves as a locator tool for publicly
accessible collections of digitized U.S. Government publications
• About 20 collections contain maps• Includes projects in planning phase, in-
progress, on-going projects, completed and projects seeking collaborators
• Listings are maintained by contributors

Tools and resources for Canadian Historical GIS
Contribution of Montréal, plaque tournante des échanges Project based at the Université de Sherbrooke L. Robichaud, Kim Petit and Philippe Michon Drupal Content Management System
Imposes more constraints than a free form wiki or blog system Now RDF compliant → compatible with the semantic web and linked
data
![Page 11: Léon Robichaud Département d'histoire Université de Sherbrooke](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568161c1550346895dd1a34f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Project metadata
Combination of Dublin Core (DCMI) and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC)
Recommended in a report by the Geospatial Multistate Archive and Preservation Partnership (Geomapp) in collaboration with the Library of Congress
Goal of compatibility with GéoIndex+

Resources (datasets)
Avoid « regeoreferencing » Avoid « redrawing » administrative limits (census divisions/subdivisions) General geobase for different levels of precision (national, provincial, city)
Borders, streets, hydrography, divisions Historical and heritage attribute data
National level (rare), provincial level (varies), city level (can be very detailed)

Current situation
Building prototype to enter some cases and validate structure and process Translate documentation Discussions with collaborators
Validate metadata Validate classification
Engage community

How can ACMLA contribute?Ideas, discussion, proposal
![Page 22: Léon Robichaud Département d'histoire Université de Sherbrooke](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/568161c1550346895dd1a34f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How can ACMLA contribute?• Propose an Ad hoc working group to gather information for best practices, to
collaborate with other associations and stakeholders and decide how best the ACMLA can contribute to the HGIS Network Canada
• Ideas▫Possibly concentrate efforts on Canadian Topographic maps ▫What would we like to see on a website?▫Do we want inventory of all maps and/or just digitized ones?
