Subject:  Map Offer by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys
 
OPCS wishes to dispose of a surplus copy of its enumeration district
planning maps from the 1971 Census in order to release warehouse space.
Permission has been obtained to break up the map set into convenient
county or region subsets:  the whole set is too large for any one
University map library to easily accept.  The maps are copies of
OS maps at a mixture of scales (1:2,500 1:10,000 1:25,000) upon which
the ED and ward boundaries have been marked.  They cover England and
Wales.  They will be of particular interest to researchers wishing
to look at change from 1971 to 1991.
 
The map sets are offered free at the point of collection (the warehouse
is in Christchurch, Dorset, I believe).  That is, your department or map
library will need to arrange selection of the relevant maps and their
shipping back to your library.
 
If your University or department would be interested in acquiring and
housing part of this OPCS map collection, please contact:
 
Mr. Alex Clark
Head, Census Processing
Office of Population Censuses and Surveys

Fareham
Hants PO15 5RR
Tel 0329 842511
 
by the 31st July, 1993.
 
Please pass this letter on to your Map Curator/Librarian for
consideration.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Philip Rees
