Global Geography Library

Extensive Collections on a Searchable Interface

Global Geography Library (GGL) is a comprehensive platform designed to address the challenges of storing and accessing large format materials such as atlases or charts, or large physical collections like national mapping series. GGL simplifies access to such materials by providing an easy to use, searchable platform for discovery and analysis that also enables seamless search and integration with other technologies. The platform can also be utilized for custom projects and collections via East View’s GGL+ program.

GGL Features & Benefits


  • Cross-Referencing and Related Resources: In addition to maps, users can access related documents such as reports and studies, creating a comprehensive knowledge base.
  • Index Map for Spatial Discovery: The platform includes an index map that aids in spatial discovery, helping users understand the geographical context of each map and how it connects to others.
  • Permanent URLs: Each map has a unique, permanent URL, allowing users to reference and share specific resources.
  • Seamless Mosaic of Maps: Users can view a seamless mosaic of maps, providing a complete picture of an area while maintaining proper spatial relationships among the maps.
  • WMTS Integration: Where allowed, the platform provides WMTS URLs, allowing users to bring the mosaic into a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment of their choice for further analysis and exploration.
