GLORAS servers have recently been upgraded and moved. This permanently alters some file paths used by state offices to transfer digital images to GLORAS for inclusion. States will need to update their copy routines accordingly. The BLM has developed and adopted scanning standards and naming conventions for GLORAS. For inclusion of records in GLORAS applications, state offices will follow guidance as identified in attachments 1-7.

GLORAS provides online access to over 12 million Federal land records for lands located within all BLM state offices. The web-based interface to the GLORAS operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Users can view these documents, download, print copies, or request certified copies of the documents online. The GLO website is the most widely used site in the Bureau of Land Management and one of the most popular sites in the Department of the Interior. The records contained in the GLORAS are a priceless resource for industries reliant on natural resources, historians, title companies and researchers in genealogy.
