Potential useful/updated information (worldwide - or 'English-speaking'
world) here, so forwarded with slight modification/trimming to 'sign-off' at
end.

Subject: New NLS copying service for modern Ordnance Survey maps

Just a brief news item, which we'd be grateful if maps folk can pass on as
necessary.

The National Library of Scotland has recently become an Ordnance Survey
Licensed Partner, and from April we are offering a new service providing
copies of in-copyright superseded Ordnance Survey maps.

We can now copy whole sheets of detailed mapping covering anywhere in the
United Kingdom, published between 1963 and 1995, for commercial and
non-private uses. As a legal deposit library, we hold a comprehensive set of
all 20th century maps published by Ordnance Survey. All Ordnance Survey maps
published on paper or microfilm are included, at scales from
1:50,000 and larger, up to 1:1,250 scale. The maps must be published before
31 December 1995.

Copies can be supplied as photocopies on paper as well as digital images.

For further information, please read our information page about the new
service at:

... or view details of the particular map series that can be copied at:
