The AGSL has a 1:50,000 set from the Directorate of Colonial Surveys
dating 1955 and on. The notes on our old card catalog card say "to be
issued in 14 sheets" with the following sheets received: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8,
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
I can't actually get to the drawers where these are stored to confirm
that we have all these sheets or to see if we happen to have others. I'm
wondering if all 14 sheets were ever actually produced.
I'll check next week when we put our library back together and get back
to you.
Why am I unable to get to the drawers? Well, as long as you asked ...
we're celebrating our 30th Anniversary today and in order to have room
for all the attendees we had to pile our student tables in a corner -
right in front of the Solomon Island drawers. It's 30 years ago that the
AGS of New York moved their library to UW Milwaukee. We're holding a big
shindig: http://www.uwm.edu/Libraries/AGSL/thirtieth/index.html
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi all
Can anyone help us locate copies of 3 missing sheets from the
Guadalcanal 50k geology maps series.
We have visited the Department in Honiara and they are unable to find
them and suggest they are out of print.
We have contacted the British Geological Survey and they are unable to
find these particular sheets in their collection.
The missing sheets are as follows:
1:50,000 British Solomon Islands Protectorate, Tenaru - Tetere,
Guadalcanal Sheet GU 5
1:50,000 British Solomon Islands Protectorate, Tadhimboko, Guadalcanal
Sheet GU 6
1:50,000 British Solomon Islands Protectorate, Kolotambu, Guadalcanal
Sheet GU 17
Any pointers on where we may find these would be much appreciated.
Thanks
