Hello all,

All the maps have been claimed. You've been quick on the replies!

In answer to a couple of queries I've had.  Yes, I realize these are collectors items. The ones that I have offered are items that do not fit in UC Davis libraries' collections.  I have no way to sell the maps and use the profits for the benefit of our collection. I am trusting that those who have replied to my offer will add these maps to their collections so that these maps will be available for use by a wider audience than if they were in a private collection.

Thanks for giving them a good home.

Hello all,

I received a donation of old Shell (gasoline) Road Maps (states) and Street Maps (metropolitan areas).  They are slightly musty smelling, but I believe they are OK.  The following maps are available to any map library. No shipping reimbursement necessary.
