This accretion also includes a June 6, 2008 copy of the commission's Tug Hill Regional Atlas Mapper site. Researchers should note that this site was undergoing a major revision at the time it was copied.

Also included are additional reports, forums and surveys, newsletters, and photographs relating to regional improvement projects. The "Tug Hill Times" newsletter (2010) and a satellite image of the Tug Hill Region are also present.

Researchers should note that, owing to the site's structure and the limitations of Web archiving technology, some information contained within this site could not be captured. Researchers should also note that clicking on the "council of governments" link in the "Organization & Approach" section may redirect to the live site of a Web hosting service.

This accretion also includes a December 27, 2010 copy of the commission's Tug Hill Regional Mapper site. It contains the 2008 Tug Hill Geographic Information Systems Strategic Plan and information about Regional GIS Partnership Awards that the commission has received.
