Are you a pinner?  Here is a good article I thought everyone who uses pinterest might find useful. It has some demonstrations on how to use photos from pinterest in ArcGIS.

Good Afternoon,
SCAUG is in the process of trying to document the rich history that SCAUG has provided the GIS community to the region over the past 23 years. As you will see it is easier to document recent history but we are definitely trying to document it from day one. (Or as close as we can to that time) We are bringing several aspects of SCAUG history to the website for the members to see and appreciate the years of hard work that helped form SCAUG as you see it today. The website has proven to serve as a good repository for SCAUG to display the history to the members. Here is what we have started so far. As time and resources permit we will upload more material and historical resources for you to enjoy.

If you would like to submit material to share your SCAUG history  in photos, stories, scanned files, or publications feel free to send them to us so we can enrich SCAUG for years to come.

Have a Good Afternoon,
