GeoData@Mason: Accessing Geospatial Data and Maps, created by Joy Suh and Elaine Ding
Geodata@Mason, launched in 2021 by the University Libraries, allows users to search, preview and download geospatial data hosted by the Mason repository. It also provides access to various datasets hosted by other academic institutions (Harvard, Tufts, MIT, UC-Berkeley, MassGIS, etc.) that are in the Open GeoPortal (OGP) framework.
