INTRODUCTION Nmotion GIS is collaborating with the Texas State University Archives to develop a “unified map collection and a visualization to see how the physical San Marcos campus has developed over time” This will be accomplished using datasets provided by the Texas State University Archives and the Facilities Office Historic Aerials, Maps, and Images to tell the story of Texas State University from c. 1900 to 2015 2

PURPOSE To date there has been no attempt to study Texas State University through historic spatial data Provide an organized resource of historic maps and images that can be easily accessed by researchers and students Tell the story of Texas State University Image Sources: Texas State University Facilities Office 3
