The history and future of geographic information (GI) in the context of big data create new avenues of concern over its organization, access, and use. In this 10 chapter book the authors explore both the background and present challenges facing the preservation of GI focusing on 1). The roles of librarians, archivists, data scientists, and other information professionals in the creation of GI records for its organization, access, and use; 2). Geospatial data discovery, geographic information policy, metadata creation; and 3). Beyond current technology and data formats to long-term preservation. This book argues that the maintenance of GI created through metadata is critical to the making GI findable to reduce duplication of creation and advance scholarship more quickly.
