The current FGDL homepage. The current version of FGDL was launched in December 2022. The Metadata Explorer has been replaced by the Current Data Catalog and Archive Data Catalog, and we’ve rolled out the new visual and interactive FGDL Explorer.
The FGDL homepage in 2012: the Metadata Explorer. This version of FGDL was in place for a decade!
A screenshot of FGDL 3.0 with a newly updated homepage. FGDL 3.0 was launched in 2000. In 2001, FGDL first allowed users to download data directly from the internet, in addition to the use of CD-ROMs. This update also introduced the ability to search for FGDL datasets.
FGDL was first launched in 1998, as home to just 80 layers. The data was originally distributed on CD-ROM and divided by county. Check out the original homepage!

This dashboard represents journal articles and other publications that have used FGDL data and cited the library in their work. Data on FGDL citations is found using Google Scholar and entered into an AGOL feature layer using Survey123. Citations are mapped according to the location of the institution that the first author is affiliated with. This data is updated periodically as alerts come in from Google Scholar.
The data at this dashboard provides statistics and visualizations for FGDL zip file downloads. Data has been taken from FGDL ftp and https logs and goes back to 2012 (data is missing and partial for 2017 and 2021, and missing for 2018 – 2020). IP addresses were used to find latitude and longitude values, the data was cleaned, added to AGOL, and an AGOL dashboard was created based on the data. The Top FGDL downloads list graph indicates the “generic” name of the layer downloaded. For example, we have several versions of parcel data available online, parcels_2020, parcels_2019, etc, and in this case the generic name is parcels. Be sure to click (and unclick) on graphs to filter the data.
