-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: MAPS-L: Index for "Uebersichtskarte von Mitteleuropa"; AMS map indexes Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2006 13:04:49 -0700 From: Mary Larsgaard <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: [log in to unmask] Organization: UCSB Map & Imagery Lab, Library To: Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> Brendan, it looks as if my library doesn't have this series - either that or I'm not looking the correct place! (we're in the midst of a retro-cat project and we've got 2/3 of Latin America left before we get to Europe). fyi, the URL for scans of indexes of AMS series is: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/ams.html special thanks to UCB Earth Science and Map Library for hosting this:-) There is an AMS series of central Europe (road map) that is 1:300K - M405 - but seems unlikely it's the same grid as the series you're talking about - and this seems to be an index that somehow missed getting scanned here.
