Subject: Re: archived SACs? (fwd)

I've been sending this library's superseded SACs
(and indeed sheets from all of our other aeronautical
chart series) to the Library at Seattle's Museum
of Flight; I hasten to say I did this only after sending
the librarians there (Janice Baker) some sample
sheets and asking if she wanted the old editions
for her collection.  I did this because I could tell
there needs to be an archive of these somewhere,
I couldn't justify the space in my own collection,
and neither could any of the other UC map libraries.

Perhaps a library within the U.S. Dept of Transportation
keeps all editions? or perhaps the Library of
Congress does?
