Abstract: The Meadowlands Commission provided Fairleigh Dickinson University with grant funding to provide a digital copy of maps and documents relevant to researchers at the Meadowlands Environmental Research Institute, and to preserve and maintain the original items. Brigid Burke (Digital Projects Librarian) and Richard Goerner (University Archivist) of FDU will discuss the materials selected for digitization and provide details about the completed digital copies and their accompanying metadata (MARC, Dublin Core, SGML/XML, and FGDC Geospatial). Richard Goerner will also discuss the completion of the project, including his plans for preserving and maintaining the original materials for future research.
