The National Library of Australia has just digitised its collection of British Indian 1:253,440 sheets

http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-232825539
see the index, or click 'browse' to see all maps (in sheet number order)

Lots of great pre-partition details of princely states, and coverage of most of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan,
along with the Library's usual free 600dpi tif downloadability.

We'd love to hear how researchers use these maps (and what they think of the resource).
