Digimap Collections User Registration

This page provides details of the user registration procedures for users at institutions which subscribe to the following Digimap Collections:

  • Digimap - Ordnance Survey Data Collection
  • Geology Digimap
  • Marine Digimap

Historic Digimap does not require user registration.

Individual Registration

For the Collections listed above users must be registered individually to use the service. Registration is supported by an institution's Site Representative, who will be able to advise on the exact procedure. As part of the registration process, each user must:

  • have personal login credentials with a local user authentication system. (For advice on what applies in your institution, please consult your local computing support helpdesk or Digimap site representative.)
  • complete the Digimap registration form online indicating acceptance of the Terms of Use for the Collections selected.
Individual Registration: Each user must submit their details using the Digimap Online Registration, and subsequently confirm them. You can register for more than one Collection at once. If you are already registered for one Collection and wish to register for another, please use the same online form. You can access the online registration form by logging in to Digimap and choosing the Collection you wish to register for. If you are already registered, you will gain access to the service. If you are NOT already registered, you will be taken to the registration form: LOG IN TO REGISTER ONLINE
Transfer of Data: If a user wishes to transfer data taken from any Digimap Collection to registered users of the same Collection in other institutions, then they need to complete the Notification of Transfer of Data Form (EDR9) Transfer of Data form
