Geoportti New Frontiers RI is a development project for strengthening the national geospatial data infrastructure.

In this project, The National Archives will enhance the accessibility and usability of historical geospatial data. The main goal is to openly share georeferenced historical maps. Georeferencing binds the maps to existing location coordinates.
