We will be hosting a Virtual Town Hall Meeting via Zoom today from 12 pm - 1 pm to discuss a proposed initiative to preserve Florida's historic maps and surveys through the FSMS Endowment for Historic Maps and Surveys Preservation. Here is the link to register and attend: https://conta.cc/4hzu7MW

Over the last 20 years, many of Florida's oldest and most respected surveying firms have closed or been absorbed, and their records have too often been lost, discarded, or left in storage. These records are becoming harder to find, yet they remain vital evidence for following in the footsteps of those who came before us.

The proposal would establish an endowment at the University of Florida Foundation to support a safe, accessible, and searchable repository of historic survey records, supported by UF's Geomatics program and its new cadastral and boundary law faculty position.
