مستخلص: As keepers of recorded and artifactual history, archival repositories provide communities with the raw materials to support collective memory and create an effective "sense of place." Part of this requires exposing the underlying geographical locations whose history is documented by archival records. But traditional archival principles of arrangement and description primarily emphasize provenance, respect des fonds, and temporal organization rather than the spatial aspects of records. Internet-based GIS tools such as Google Maps and Google Earth offer opportunities for archives to present records in new and exciting ways, and can help better connect archives to the communities they serve.
