For a talk I am preparing on promoting map libraries, [as in p.r.]  I am
seeking info on map libraries here in US or Canada which have closed, or
been moved under another administrative unit [gov docs, history, social
sciences, etc.], or to a remote locale, in the last 5 years. And if any
seem under threat of major admin change in the next 5 years. [The signs are
usually there well in advance.]


Feel free to email me off line if more comfortable doing so.  This will
help me set up boundaries around a perceived, imagined or real threat to
map libraries...

Many thanks, and always happy to bring sunshine into your day!
