****apologies for cross-posting****

Dear all,

I know many people dislike this type of approach, but I find myself with
no
alternative but to use it, so apologies. Those of you who can help me
will
do so, and those of you who cannot will hear no more about it! I am a
curator of manuscript maps in the Dept of Manuscripts at the British
Library. I am trying to write a dissertation on descriptive standards
for
maps in archival collections and am looking for a cross section of
professional opinion. I have a very short questionnaire (9
straightforward
questions) relating to the nature and use of descriptive standards for
map
collections. I will say no more at this time other than to ask that
anybody
who is prepared to answer my questions please contact me directly to
avoid
disturbing those list members who have no interest.

Many thanks
Michael St John
