Located in the Davidson Library, the Map and Imagery Laboratory advances the interdisciplinary use of spatial data and provides technologies for integrating diverse information formats. The facility is nationally recognized for the quantity of spatial data it holds and the availability of equipment for utilizing both analog and digital materials. It is the home of the Alexandria Digital Library (ADL) providing, via the Internet, geospatial searching as well as data access.

The Map and Imagery Lab (MIL) serves the academic and research needs of the University of California, the state university system, business, industry, federal and state government, and other domestic and foreign educational institutions.

THE ALEXANDRIA DIGITAL LIBRARY (ADL):
The Alexandria Digital Library offers easy access to its collections of geographically referenced materials. The library; headquartered at the University of California , Santa Barbara; is hosted by the Davidson Library's Map and Imagery Lab. The MIL team is working with development teams throughout the world to establish remote, independent, yet federated ADL nodes featuring local geographically referenced collections.
DIGITAL PRESERVATION (The NGDA Program):
Concerned that millions of nationally important digital information resources are in danger of being lost or corrupted, the Library of Congress has formed The National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP).As partners in the project the university libraries of UCSB and Stanford are leading the formation of the National Geospatial Digital Archive (NGDA), a collecting network for the archiving of geospatial images and data.

The MIL is a closed-stack collection; most MIL materials do not circulate.
