What we do
Our applications are used by a wide variety of individuals and organizations to easily understand localized trends, dynamics and forces contained in complex geographic datasets. We are committed to making information widely available in very user- friendly formats. Our online systems are designed to lower the technical and economic barriers to sharing spatial data across traditional organizational boundaries.
Placebase has no relationship with the prior owner of the placebase.com domain.
 
Access
Placebase supports open access to the public information that is constantly under pressure to be removed from the public domain.

Technology has an important role in ensuring access to information; Placebase is committed to lowering the technical barriers to information sharing, opening up access to information which is otherwise hidden in public databases, or only available in expensive private ones.
