If you read the @mndailynews opinions section, you've probably seen Kelly Rogers' byline. ⁠

As a former geography teacher and self-proclaimed GIS nerd, I’m thrilled to proclaim today as Geographic Information Systems Day.

Here in Minnesota, we are using GIS to make state government more effective - whether we’re replacing lead pipes or expanding homeownership.

Looking to browse the free maps? Come check it out across from the brand new GeoCommons space on the 4th floor of Blegen Hall!

We see your messy “free maps” pile (we have one too) and we raise you this Little Free Map Library! Just in time for #GISDay!

@TylerVigen This is the type of research we love (and great to see our aerial photographs out in the wild!). Feel free to reach out directly for your next cartographic research deep dive!

[Ryan Mattke @eglath]

I love everything about this! And not just because it uses aerial photographs from the @BorchertMapLib collection…

Kudos to @alikubas for sending it my way.

Join us for pizza and learning at First Fridays, May 5 at noon. It's the final event in our 2022-23 season of intellectually stimulating talks from the Archives and Special Collections at #UMN. We'll hear from the Upper Midwest Jewish Archives and @BorchertMapLib.

My geographer daughter: “I went to @BorchertMapLib and they were giving away free maps. I got all these beautiful maps. I love maps!”

It was such a pleasure to record this podcast on my work with @MapPrejudice , which studies the persistent effects of racial covenants on house prices and segregation in the 21st century. Also listen to other amazing papers on economic inequality at @InequaliTalks
