Matt,



As indicated in your link (item details tab), the ESCAP atlas of stratigraphy I consists of “24 loose, folded plates with accompanying text” which together form the UN Mineral Resources Developent Series No. 44. I’m looking at our copy, and all 24 maps are black and white (referring to the 24 maps in an envelope, not the maps and diagrams folded into the accompanying text). I looked through many volumes of the ESCAP report and all the various loose maps included and all of them are B&W – so I think you’ve got what there is to have.



So I looked a bit more, and the color geologic map that you attached is not related to ESCAP reports. It is from Burma: geological survey and exploration : geology and exploration geochemistry of the Pinlebu-Banmauk area, Sagaing Division, northern Burma : technical report 2 <http://unbisnet.un.org:8080/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!83909~!1>  - the only library that is shown in Worldcat as owning it is the United Nations Document Center. The catalog for the UN Document Center shows the location of the volume to be Dag Hammarskjöld Library – I assume that means they have the original color version. But you can download the text that goes with that map at http://dag.un.org/handle/11176/141979%3Fshow%3Dfull   (PDF link at bottom of the page) and at the end of the text, they have scanned the color map you attached in 8.5x11” pieces in black and white so you can verify it is the same thing.



The UN project symbol that goes with the report that belongs with the color map is BUR-72-002 and you can find the rest of the volumes in the UN catalog (there are several).

Good luck.

Hello all,



I’ve been trying to help a researcher locate some geologic maps of Myanmar (formerly Burma). Attached are the two documents he has provided as examples. I have the UN ESCAP report (http://alliance-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/UW:all:CP71143225720001451).



What I haven’t been able to locate are the supposed geologic maps related to this report (see attachment: Map No. 2 Pinlebu…) as a separate set. There are some maps included in the UN ESCAP report, but they are black and white copies from what I assume is a full-color set. Any help, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks!

Matt

Hi Matthew,

All my wishes for 2017!

I am Alexis Licht, new assistant professor in Earth and Space Sciences. We briefly met during orientation last September.

I've been working in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) for long now, but I never succeeded to get precise geological maps from there. There is yet a technical report from the United Nations made during the late 70's, full of maps, descriptions and logs. I've attached two pieces of this report that I succeeded to get from my Burmese colleagues. You'll find the references of the technical report in the files.

I would like to have access to the complete material from this report, and have it digitized. I have yet no idea of where I should look for it. It should be accessible as it was made by the UN. Would you mind helping me to find them? I would have three requests for you, with increasing level of difficulty:

-Could you locate the closest copy of the full UN report?

-Could you have it transferred to UW via an inter-library loan, including the maps?

-Is there a way to digitize it? Or should I do it myself?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Alexis
