Digimap Collections are a set of online services that provide maps and mapping data to UK colleges and universities. There are several collections available.
All of the maps and data available are provided by public or private sector organisations. Digimap Collections do not own any maps or data - we provide our services so that UK educational institutions can easily access data for teaching, learning and research.
The maps and data available in Digimap Collections are typically for EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY. Some collections provide data that is available under open data licences. Subscribing institutions and individual users of the service agree to terms and conditions of use on subscribing and/or individual user registration. See our licensing information for full details.
