European Digital Archive on Soil Maps [http://eusoils.jrc.it/esdb_archive/EuDASM/EUDASM.htm (EuDASM)] is a digital inventory of the maps holding valuable information pertaining to soil that are highly demanded in various environmental assessment studies focusing on policy issues. The EuDASM is a common platform established by [http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/jrc/index.cfm Joint Research Centre] in Italy of the [http://ec.europa.eu/index_en.htm European Commission] and the [http://www.isric.org International Soil Reference and Information Centre(ISRIC)] of [http://www.wur.nl/UK/ Wageningen University] in The Netherlands (Holland) to store soil and related maps in digital format and to provide free access to the global community (Researchers, University scholars, policy makers, etc.). The archive is typically unique at the present times, for it is the only archive that holds nearly 6000 maps online related to soils and are freely accessible to the public around the world. Moreover, the major focus of the EuDASM initiative is towards the developing nations of Africa, South America, Asia etc., inorder to assist them to arrest the loss of existing information and prevent the quality deterioration.
