University of Connecticut, Map and Geographic Information Center, Homer Babbidge Library

The Homer Babbidge Library will create an international metadata-driven, dynamic access tool that will enable users to access and view scanned and geo-referenced images from 1877-1914 Austro-Hungarian topographic maps by querying an easy-to-use digital gazetteer. In addition to being accessible from the University of Connecticut's Web site, the material will be linked to the FamilySearch website of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The American Geographic Society Library at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the New York Public Library are partners in this project; the Bodleian Library at Oxford University and three national libraries in Europe are also participating.
