# Introduction
The georeferencing files made available through the digital archive contain resources to georeference the original image using QGIS software. Contents include: 

- Ground control point (GCP) file [macrepo_88014.tiff.points] necessary to georeference this map using QGIS
- This readme file [macrepo_88014_README.txt], which contains coordinate reference system information and instructions on how to georeference the downloaded original image [TIFF or JPEG2000]
- ISO 19115 metadata file [macrepo_88014_ISO19115.xml], which provides additional geospatial metadata. Note that this file may not be included in all packages.

# Coordinate reference system (CRS) information
- The GCP file [macrepo_88014.tiff.points] that is provided in this package is formatted for QGIS software. More information on converting to other software formats (e.g. ArcGIS) can be found at https://github.com/maclibGIS/Digital-Archive-Tools/blob/master/georeferencing-tools/
- Ground control points (GCPs) have been created in the CRS defined by EPSG:4267 (http://spatialreference.org/ref/epsg/4267/).
