Archiving Implementation Workgroup
The mission of the Archiving Implementation Workgroup of the Minnesota Geospatial Advisory Council is to define policies, best practices and procedures for archiving geospatial data in Minnesota. It builds on the work of the Archiving Workgroup, active in 2019.
Your Input Needed!
Please contribute to the Archiving Historical Geospatial Data Survey - help us make the case for archiving geospatial data in Minnesota!
The survey will take approximately five minutes to complete. Your input will help to shape conversation and planning as we work toward proposing a geospatial archive for Minnesota. We appreciate your time and feedback.

A 10 question survey was intended to capture the relevant topics of interest toward data archiving methods, prioritization of archival dataset pilot projects, and related data archiving concerns such as retention policies, licenses and data use agreements, etc. The survey was publicized widely with the GIS community for feedback and guidance, and is helping to shape the scope of the Archiving Workgroup agendas and deliverables. The survey closed December 21, 2018.
