This dataset includes maps from the main map series that are published individually in print. A description of all maps of Svalbard was produced in 2007 and can be found here: N:\Geologi\Metadata\Kart\MATERIALOVERSIKT_hovedkartserien.doc. It needs to be updated at regular intervals and the three maps from Antarctica need to be included. Some links may no longer work, in that case the files can be found in the same folder.Pdf files and low resolution JPG files of all digitally produced geological maps are on N:\Geologi\Data_i_fil_format\Svalbard\Kart\SVALBARD MAPS COLLECTEDAn inventory over printed map sheets is on N:\Geologi\Metadata\Kart\Geologiske kart på lager_ny2010.doc. This needs to be updated with new published maps and maps on sale after March 2010. Map data is available at several scales: 1:3 000 000, 1:750 000, 1:200 000 (eastern islands), 1:100 000 (Spitsbergen) and 1:50 000 (Bjørnøya and Billefjorden). A geological GIS database of Svalbard is currently under construction. It will be stored on N:\Geologi\GIS_data. The database is subdivided into scales: 1:2 000 000, 1:750 000, 1:250 000, 1:100 000.
