Welcome!

This guide will help you discover and access geospatial data for use in research and course projects. It is meant to help you get started and features information about common public and licensed sources of geospatial data rather than being an exhaustive list of resources.

 

For more advanced help finding geospatial data resources, please contact Josh Sadvari (Geospatial Information Librarian) at sadvari.1@osu.edu.

 

If you are looking for more information about physical and digital map collections at University Libraries and beyond, please visit the Maps Subject Guide.
