Earlier this year, the ArcInfo distributor in Buenos Aires (Aeroterra, S.A.) asked us at 
WBA Trading Ltd. to help distribute two Atlases on CD-ROM developed for 
ArcView containing a wealth of very useful and reliable geographical data for 
Argentina.  With only limited advertising, we have been very pleased with the 
interest and response from ArcView users from many diverse organizations 
throughout North America and Europe.  Engineering companies, university GIS 
labs and libraries, international research organizations, manufacturing 
companies, banks, etc. are among the users who are finding the social, 
demographic, natural resources and environmental data contained in these 
Atlases on CD-ROM of importance to research and decision needs of business, 
commerce, science, government and education.

You or your colleagues may find these of interest and value.  PLEASE FEEL FREE 
TO SHARE AND NETWORK THIS INFORMATION--many users of these CD-ROMs have found 
us this way.  Below is a summary of each Atlas; attached is a two page content 
description.

We have also had numerous inqueries for similar comprehensive geographical 
databases for other countries and regions.  If you know of any, we are 
interested in possibly adding them to our catalog.

The STATISTICAL ATLAS OF ARGENTINA (Atlas Estadistico Republica Argentina) on 
CD-ROM with an optional 300 page color text includes comprehensive 
demographic, social, economic and other indicators--geocoded at national, 
provincial and departmental levels.  General characteristics include political 
divisions, climate, hydrology, transportation (roads, railroads, airports, 
pipelines), etc.  Demographic and Social indicators include population, 
housing, education, health, employment, social security, public security, 
electoral participaton, free-time, tourism and recreation.  Economic 
Indicators include agriculture, mining, industry, energy, commerce and 
services, telephone communications, public finances and banking system, 
provincial exportations, and more.  It was prepared by INDEC (Instituto 
Nacional de Estadistica y Censos) and Aeroterra through INDEC's new policy of 
providing statistical information in digital form developed under the 
Institutes modernization program.

The SOILS ATLAS OF ARGENTINA (Atlas de Suelos de la Republica Argentina) on
 CD-ROM has a comprehensive database of maps and text including soils, 
hydrology, transportation, population centers topography, climate, vegetation, 
groundwater basins and more, all geocoded at the provincial and departmental 
levels for the entire country,  plus several Landsat TM satellite images, 
photos of soils profiles and corresponding landscapes.  It was produced by 
INTA, Argentina's National Institute of Agricultural Technology, with 
Aeroterra, S.A.

Both CD-ROM Atlases include ArcView 1.0 for Windows, and current ArcView or ArcInfo 
users can easily import the Soils and Statical Atlases databases into their 
current ArcView or ArcInfo systems.
