Perhaps an odd question for this list, but I'm hoping someone might be 
able to help given the level of involvement among list participants in the 
redistricting process. 

Is anyone aware of a centralized repository (perhaps a university project 
or something) of shape files for newly apportioned Congressional 
districts--at least as boundaries are as adopted by Legislatures or 
redistricting commissions, etc., pending any court challenges? 

I just spent an hour trying to track down the files for Arkansas's new 
congressional districts and need them for a couple other states that don't 
have them posted online in as easily accessible format as Virginia or some 
other states. If anyone knows of such a repository, please let me know. 

If there isn't such a central repository, I might be tempted to create 
one, but I'm not sure what interest there would be in something like that.
