Abstract
A working group of map librarians from across Western Canada formed in February 2021
from amongst members of the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL). This group's
task was to develop processes and procedures for the identification and preservation of print versions of
topographic maps of Western Canadian provinces and northern territories published by Canadian
federal government agencies. These maps, once identified and inventoried, are to be included within a
distributed shared print archive. Inclusion in the archive will ensure that individual print maps remain
accessible, opportunities are available for the reallocation of library space, and that maps are preserved
for members in a cost-effective way. On October 28, 2021, the COPPUL SPAN Phase 6 Working Group
presented an overview of the project and its progress to date at the WAML 2021 Virtual Conference.
