ARCH Policy Institute: Resources for Policy Research at Special Collections : Map and Government Information Library (MAGIL)

General information about using special collections and resources for policy research at Special Collections

Overview

The Map and Government Information Library (MAGIL) acquires, organizes and provides access to cartographic and government information. It is located in the sub-basement of the Main Library.

The UGA Libraries serves as Georgia's regional depository for documents published by the Federal government as well as the official depository for documents published by the State of Georgia. Government information produced by select international organizations, including the United Nations, is also collected. Cartographic resources include maps, aerial photography and remote sensed imagery, atlases, digital spatial data, and reference materials, with a particular emphasis on the State of Georgia.

GIS Tutorials and Workshops

We have a number of GIS tutorials using QGIS, which is open source (and can run on Macs as well as Windows computers). The tutorials cover a variety of skills to help you create a map from start to finish.

Workshops are offered as part of the Fall and Spring into Research programs and occasionally as part of Data Studio workshop series. Workshops can also be customized to support classroom projects.
