Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The Humboldt Room special collections at the Humboldt State University Library contains a large collection of delicate and vintage historical maps. Taking action to make searching the archive easier as well as to preserve the fragile status of historical maps has become a necessity. This can be accomplished by creating a “web-based digital map archive” and supplanting it with a Web Map component that allows users to search and download from the digital map archive.This poster introduces the concept of converting the map collection to a digital format, the methods used for developing an interactive web map, and the future status of the project.
