Subject: OSS maps digitized

Is anyone familiar with any systematic project ongoing or in the works
to scan World War II vintage OSS maps?  Any of these already online?

We're looking for a quick "test" digitization project here, and,
although these aren't exactly high-use maps, many are at least
interesting historical curiosities.  Many are page size, like their CIA
descendants, and would work as a test project for a 12x17 inch scanner
we have.  We might not tackle the larger ones yet. I just don't want to
duplicate the work of others.

Thanks,
        Mark
