Although directed to "UK collections" some 'MAPS-L' subscribers may care
to advise James Reid of Edinburgh who writes that he "would be happy to
hear about those further afield, especially if they have special merit."
Don't ask me what might be those that "have special merit":)

Subject: 'at risk' digital map (or related) collections?

Is anyone on the list aware of 'at-risk' digital map (or geo related)
collections?

'At risk', meaning that there is an imminent threat of losing access to
the resource for ever?

I'm interested in UK collections but

would be happy to hear about those
further afield, especially if they have special merit.
