At its May, 2004 meeting, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission initiated the GeoArchives records access project by funding a grant to:
1) create standards in order to designate a select set of Maine State Geographic Information System (GIS) records as archival,
2) develop, in partnership with the GeoLibrary, an internet-based GeoArchives system prototype, and implement it for a selected set of archival GIS records, and
3) amend Archives Advisory Board, GeoLibrary, and Information Services Policy Board rules to recognize and enforce the implementation of the new standard(s) and prototype throughout Maine government.
