Subject: pre-1940 USGS topo maps

Hi -
We are interested in knowing whether other map libraries keep older USGS
topo maps in their collection.  For the sake of this question, "older" can
be defined as 1882-1940, as shown in Riley Moffat's "Map Index to
Topographic Quadrangles of the United States".

If you do keep them, do you have the entire US coverage, certain states,
only your state, or do you use some other criteria for deciding what to
keep?

I can summarize responses for the list, if people are interested.

Thanks,
