Hi John-
UW-Madison has a substantial collection of OSS maps (Professor Arthur
Robinson, was chief of the mapping division of the OSS during WWII).
Because these maps are in various stages of cataloging (some have LC
cataloging, some are still in our 'old system', and some are not
cataloged at all) I cannot venture a guess at a number, but it is quite
significant.
A scanning project would be great!!
Jaime
