Hope:
I will forward your email on to our archaeological sites officer as well as
my significant other who is in fact a bona fide GIS specialist. Perhaps one
of them can offer you some advise.

Subject: GIS and The Museum World
A question of vision:
Although I consider myself on the path of Good Museum Work, I am
temporarily, geographically, sidetracked, and thus working in Cultural
Resources Management- heavily with GIS(see def. below). Does anyone have
experience, impending-, inkling-, or otherwise with incorporating GIS into
a/their museum. This would be either educationally, administratively, what
have you?
Thanks in advance.
(Geographic Information System) An information system that deals with
spatial information. Often called "mapping software," it links attributes
and characteristics of an area to its geographic location. It is used in a
variety of applications, including exploration, demographics, dispatching,
tracking and map making. Using satellites and aerial photography, the U.S.
Geological Survey and other organizations have developed digital maps of
most of the world. Unlike paper maps, digital maps can be combined with
layers of information.
