Welcome
Welcome to the Alexandria Digital Library Project. The name Alexandria
comes from the library of Alexandria, Egypt, which was considered the center
of all knowledge/learning. No one place now can claim that distinction
- but all data sources together (libraries, academic institutions, private
companies, government agencies, etc.) are Alexandria. The project
began in 1995 with the development of the Alexandria Digital Library, a
working digital library with collections of geographically referenced materials
and services for accessing those collections. The Alexandria Digital Library
Project is headquartered on the campus of the University
of California at Santa Barbara. The Alexandria Digital Library is hosted by the Davidson Library.
Alexandria Digital Earth Prototype (ADEPT)
The National Science Foundation has announced funding from 1999-2004 for the next stage of the project, the Alexandria Digital Earth Prototype (ADEPT).
Operational Alexandria Digital Library (ADL)
The distributed digital library developed by the UCSB Map & Imagery Lab with nodes and collections under development worldwide.
