3. Map Digitization @ UCLA
- Gain knowledge and expertise for sustainable scanning of maps
(library-driven AND user-driven)
- Digitize as many maps as possible for a variety of uses:
4.
- Overview of UCLA Map Collection
- Approximately 1 million print maps, worldwide coverage,
historical and contemporary
- Single maps and map series

- Digitize as many maps as possible from the historical
California and Los Angeles collection
- Focusing on monograph maps not series
- Work out scanning, transport, cataloging, preservation
- Load into Digital Library Collection System and develop a way
to easily get or host the data for GIS use.
- Assess progress and plan for next stage of project.
- Assess scan-on-demand process and prices
6.
- Create an extensive inventory of CA and LA maps
- Trackphysical characteristics of maps
- Consult with conservator when questions arise about
condition
- Remove encapsulation when possible
- Leave for outsourcing (most likely at SRLF) when not possible
to scan with Contexscanner
- Develop and tweak workflow
