This project seeks to improve access to, visibility of, and long-term stewardship for three complete sets of the National Topographic Series (NTS) 1:50,000 scale maps, covering print editions produced between the 1950s and 2012. While many Canadian organizations hold these print collections, not all are able to commit to long-term retention or storage in stable environments. The starting point for this project will focus on institutions that have large NTS print collections and have committed to retain the 1:50K series for the retention period 2025 to 2050 in environments which are preservation positive.
