Thanks, Jim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Mapping Florida's Historical Place Names: an online dictionary From: Stephanie Haas <haas@smathersnt2.uflib.ufl.edu> Date: Tue, February 25, 2003 12:34 pm To: "'jpowelljr@gru.net'" <jpowelljr@gru.net> The Florida Center for Library Automation in partnership University of Florida Libraries is currently writing a grant to begin the creation of an online dictionary of Florida historic place names. Names will be drawn from historic maps, existing electronic place name files, and other identified sources. When possible, the central point of the place will be included, identified by latitude/longitude coordinates. In order to provide justification for this digitization project, I would very much appreciate knowing if you would make use of this online dictionary in your professional work, or as an interested individual. If you know of others in Florida who would benefit from having access to an online dictionary of Florida historic place names, please pass this message on and ask them to send a message to me indicating support of this project and what its likely impact would be on their activities. Thank you all for your help in justifying this project, Stephanie C.
