Abstract	Until recently most spatial geological information was in analogue (mainly paper) form, which made it expensive to store and often difficult to use because of its increasing fragility. However, with the rapid advances in information technology in the last 20 years, not only has it become relatively easy to digitise or digitally scan historical information but, increasingly, data suppliers are, themselves, producing the raw data in digital form. This brings with it a host of new problems for the acquisition, management and dissemination of the information. These issues include data collection (what, where, how and by whom), data management and security (metadata, validation, backup, access), data access (how, where and at what price) and the provision of value-added products based on the data tailored to the needs of specific users. For engineering geologists, the historical acquisition of geological data in various forms is on the verge of delivering a whole range of new products that should alter the way in which site investigation is carried out.Jusqu’à une époque récente, la plupart des informations géologique spatialisées se présentait sous forme analogique (et principalement sous forme papier), ce qui rendait coûteux leur stockage et difficile leur utilisation du fait de leur fragilité. Avec les progrès rapides des technologies de l’information durant les derniers vingt ans, non seulement il est devenu facile de numériser et scanner des informations à caractère historique mais encore les fournisseurs de données eux-mêmes produisent de plus en plus de données brutes sous forme numérique. Ceci s’accompagne de l’arrivée de nouvelles difficultés pour l’acquisition, la gestion et la divulgation de l’information ainsi que pour la fourniture de produits à valeur ajoutée adaptés aux besoins de nouveaux usagers. Pour les spécialistes de géologie de l’ingénieur, l’acquisition de données géologiques sous diverses formes est au seuil d’une production d’une large gamme de produits nouveaux qui pourraient modifier la façon de conduire les reconnaissances géologiques de sites.
