Archivers

Archivers have privileges to submit map files for approval into the MapLibrary.  When you want to submit a map, you first specify an artifact type, which defines an artifact's attributes, such as: Files, Map Creator, Contact Person, Map Creation Date and so on, then you provide values for the appropriate attributes, and, once satisfied with your submission, submit it for approval.  Upon approval, your submission becomes available for viewing by all Searchers.

Note: You must have a user account and a password to submit maps.  If you do not, contact your System Administrator.
