Summary/Abstract: During palaeogeographic research printed cartographic materials are often used. In order to incorporate them into GIS thorough assessment and verification are necessary, since they condition proper analyses of the materials and valid conclusions. Evaluation of the materials is particularly important when information from several data sources is compiled. This paper assesses the possibilities of using a variety of geological materials on Central Poland in GIS, such as data derived from borehole profiles as well as archival geological maps and sketches that were published as stand-alone deliverables or as attachments to scientific monographs and papers.
