[|Converting Excel to Use in Arc Catalog] [|USGS] - U.S. Geological Survey - This site has different maps and datasets throughout the United States.(Noel) [|Government census information] - Very helpful for population demographic information. (Sarah) [|Case Study: Rom][|an Archaeology in France] - - This site has a case study of what GIS is capable of in an archaeological setting. Lots of good images.[|Original site] (Gabrielle) [|World Health Organization] data and statistics (Misty) [|National Park Service] datasets (Misty) [|Maya map] - This site has a nice map of the Maya region and sites that someone might be able to use... (Misty) [|Uniform Crime Reports (UCR)] The FBI collects and publishes data provided by nearly 17,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States. (Emily) http://www.terraserver.com/ TerraServer has assembled the largest variety of aerial photos, satellite images and USGS topo maps on the Internet. You can search and view all of our online imagery and then purchase a digital image download or a high quality print. (Roberta)

[|Windows Live Local] - This is a Google Maps style imagery site from Microsoft with basically the same satellite imagery. The big plus is that in most areas there are aerial photos that are associated with the satellite images, which gives a nice oblique (and more recent) view of most areas where the satellite imagery is years old. (Andy) [|Orange County Maps and GIS] - This site has several maps displaying various information (jurisdictions, land use) on the Orange County, FL. [|National Weather Service] datasets available to import into GIS, inlcuding radar imagery, advisories, forecasts, precipitation data, map backgrounds, and more.(Misty) [|La Milpa, Belize GIS Modeling] - 3-D and GIS maps of the Maya site of La Milpa by the La Milpa Archaeological Project.
