Map & GIS Library
NEW! The Geologic Atlas collection has been updated and now includes GIS shapefiles for each map and support for Google Earth.
The Map & GIS Library furthers the mission of the TAMU Libraries by acquiring, managing and delivering geospatial information for members of the Texas A&M University community. Through personal service and expertise, we distribute local, state, national and international geospatial data in print and digital format.
Comments and questions regarding these collections should be directed to the collection curator, Kathy Weimer.
