Dennis,
We have many coal-related maps in our collection so a lot will depend on the size of the map and scope of the area he wants for each map.  Frankly, most of the maps that come to mind are part of texts on the same subject.
An example is this map of the major coal fields of western and central Europe from a U.S. Bureau of Mines report - http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc12579/m1/4/.
We do have other atlases and maps such as "Coal resources of the world" (1913) but they may have too much detail for his needs.

All,



I have a patron researching coalfields in Great Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands from the early 19 th century through mid 20 th and he would like some maps to include in his report. I don’t have anything in my collection but found these two maps online: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:British.coalfields.19th.century.jpg and http://etc.usf.edu/maps/pages/7200/7264/7264z.htm . Also looking through David Rumsey in the meantime. Wondering if anyone has maps for those areas scanned for their collection or print maps where I could get scanned copies?



Thanks,



Dennis
