GIS Data @ Harvard

Harvard Geospatial Library

The Harvard Geospatial Library is the University’s catalog and repository for geospatial data. It houses thousands of layers of digital geospatial data, in both vector and raster (scanned maps) forms. HGL uses traditional text searching combined with map/coordinate based searches. Data can be viewed on-line, or downloaded for use in a desktop GIS. See a powerpoint presentation explaining HGL and its capabilities.
