One of my fave topics. I have been working on this with Carleton U,
LAC, Ottawa U, GeoConnections and InterPARES 2. And dang it, why does
it take so long? There was a good session on the topic at GEOTec 2006.
I particularly liked the airphoto, vanmap and science portal study.

> The University of California, Santa Barbara's Map and Imagery Lab and

http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/ . Our project has been named the
> National Geospatial Digital Archive (www.ngda.org). Both universities are
> building long-term digital preservation environments and have begun
> collecting geospatial data considered to be either "at-risk" or critical to
> our mission to support the teaching and research at our universities.

> There are two talks about NDIIPP and geospatial data preservation at the
> upcoming meeting. They will be held on Tuesday morning in room 29D of the
> convention center. The first is being given by the North Carolina State
> University team working on preservation of geospatial materials at the
> state level. The second is the NGDA discussion.

> In addition, Mary Larsgaard (UCSB), Tracey Erwin (SU), and I (SU) have been

> librarians at the conference to share the CD Policy and get feedback on how
> to make it better. There will be two forums to do so.

> On Tuesday during the lunch convened by Angela Lee of ESRI, we will
> introduce the Collection Development Policy. We will then reconvene at 3pm
> to discuss it in more depth with those of you interested in this
> topic. The lunch will be held in the Balboa Room, Marriott Hotel, from
> noon to 1pm. The afternoon CDP discussion will also be held in the Balboa
> Room room from 3-5pm.
