The National Library of Australia is pleased to announce that all 1236 of its Survey of India 1:126,720 topo sheets have now been digitised and can be viewed and freely downloaded (600dpi tif or lower-res jpg) at http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-234359787/view
The series covers much of pre-independence British India (modern Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Burma), giving detailed topography and social and industrial infrastructure.
This 2-mile to the inch series joins
478 sheets of the Survey of India's 4-mile series (1:253,440)
https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-232825539
and 42 sheets of a 4-mile series of Burma
https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/5975698
previously digitised.
I would be pleased to hear from anyone who finds these maps useful in their work/research.
We also have several thousand 1:63,360 (one-inch to the mile) sheets of South Asia and Burma, and are looking for collaborative sponsorship to help digitise these.
