If not, please respond if your collection holds more than 250,000 maps, and I will try to put together such a list. This is the approximate number held by the University of Texas at Austin, as a starting place. Princeton claims more than 300,000 on their web site. Others??? I am particularly interested in university libraries; I realize the Library of Congress and the New York Public probably has us all beat. So, If you have a list, or more than 250,000 maps, please send in your numbers!!!! Thanks. > > Dawn Youngblood > Edwin J. Foscue Map LIbrary > Southern Methodist University > P.O.
