The National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP), in collaboration with the Association of American State Geologists, conducted a data management workshop to share information, provide training opportunities, and exhibit successful efforts rescuing, preserving, and disseminating information about geoscientific data and artifacts to further earth science investigations. The ~60 workshop attendees represented state geological surveys, museums, and USGS and other federal agencies.
