Hi there,

I have a question about Ordnance Survey maps of Ireland that were drawn
around the turn of the century, 1904-1906 or so.  I am cataloging a
number of “Old Ordnance Survey Maps,” The Godfrey Edition, which are
modern reprints.  They refer only to the name “Ordnance Survey,” but I
am thinking this is not the Great Britain Ordnance Survey, but the Irish
one, because the original maps were published by “the Director General
at the Ordnance Survey Office, Phoenix Park, Dublin.”  Can someone
clarify for me just who was responsible for the original maps?

There are dozens of records in OCLC for these modern maps, but only a
few record the corporate name as Ordnance Survey of Ireland.  Here is
the name authority record for that body:

110 2   Ordnance Survey of Ireland

410 1   Great Britain. ǂb Ordnance Survey of Ireland ǂw nnaa   [this is
a form of the name that used to be used in bibliographic records]

410 2   Survey of Ireland

410 2   Léarscáilíocht Éireann

510 2   Ordnance Survey (Ireland)

667    Valid for pre-1922 imprints

Thanks in advance for your help!
