dcterms.accessRightsDigitizing the sheets became a priority due to the frequency of requests for access, and due to our concern to preserve items that are no longer available in hard copy from NOAA. For those T-sheets not currently scanned, metadata only records have been loaded to describe our hard copy holdings. Note that for many of the earlier surveys in the Long Island Region, URLs to items in the University of Alabama Collection are indicated. Their images were scanned from negatives at 1200 dpi. The Alabama site presents each sheet in its entirety, which aids in visual searches.

dcterms.descriptionTopographic and hydrographic surveys of Long Island completed from the 1830s – 1890s by the United States Coast Survey represent the first set of detailed surveys of the region made using triangulated survey instruments. Actually the surveys were the first to be produced by the Coast Survey, initiated by Thomas Jefferson under the direction of the Survey’s first Superintendent, Ferdinand Hassler. Stony Brook University holds bromide facsimiles of the topographic T-sheet) and hydrographic (H-sheet) surveys, some of which are longer than 3 meters. Cynthia Dietz, Map Librarian, created the metadata fields, which closely comply with Dublin Core, FGDC and EPA standards, while interns and students populated the metadata fields. Place keywords, theme keywords, coverage, and town fields, should help people locate areas of interest to them. The “Relation” field links the user to an index map, so that s/he may quickly find neighboring T-sheets. The theme keywords were taken from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) feature class. The West, East, North and South Coordinate fields indicate the most westerly, easterly, northerly and southerly extent in UTM coordinates on each given map, respectively.
