Hi Mark and Scott,
Are OSS maps the same as Nazi Germany maps (and related booklets), or
any maps confiscated by OSS from Axis nations after WWII?? I think Scott
did a presentation on the Nazi Germany map collection at NAICS, so I am
guessing those (Nazi maps) are the ones you are talking about. Or not?
Could you tell me what defines OSS maps..?
I was interested in digitizing Nazi Germany maps and related items we
have here at the Northwestern University Library, but I gave up after
reading a discussion on copyright issues in MAPS-L archive.. (I think it
was started by Penn State or British library, which also own similar
Nazi map collections.)
Sincerely,
Chieko
