The Maine State Archives collaborates with Maine's GeoLibrary Board on the GeoArchives records access project. The NHPRC funded the GeoArchives records access project in 2004 to create standards in order to designate a select set of Maine State Geographic Information System (GIS) records as archival; develop, in partnership with the GeoLibrary, an internet-based GeoArchives system prototype, and implement it for a selected set of archival GIS records; and 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.
