Archive and fund

The LGIA geospatial information archive started its work on June 1, 2006, taking over the geodesy and cartography materials from the SLS archive and systematizing them.

The Archive and Material Circulation Fund provides:

  • compilation, storage, accounting and issuance of LGIA cartography, geodesy and photogrammetry technical documentation (including electronic), record keeping and personnel documents for work purposes;
  • an opportunity for legal persons and individuals to purchase geoinformative material circulated by the LGIA - maps, books.
