The Geospatial Centre collects and provides geospatial data across several geographical levels. The strength in the collection is in Canadian data resources, particularly in southern Ontario, however other data resources such as at the US and World levels are also available. This webpage lists and describes the data that are available at the US and the World.
Most datasets from the Geospatial Centre can be accessed in person during reference hours. These data are provided for personal use for academic, research, and/or teaching purposes. Library staff will ask patrons to read and sign a data release agreement before these licensed data can be released. Other datasets, such as those that are available from external sources have also been included in the collection of links below.
