The RGS (with IBG)'s OPAC identifies a map such as your patron seeks: 1:25K, (London : War Office, 1915), Series GSGS 3019a, 29 x 40", copied from original published in Berlin by Dietrich Reimer (1913). Contact the centralized e-mail for Collections: [log in to unmask] You are almost sure to locate other items, and/or other British holding institutions, thru searching COPAC.

One patron would like a detailed map of the city of Dar es Salaam and environs, ca. 1911. Did the Germans survey at this scale during this time period? Does anyone have a suitable map in their collection that they would be willing to scan? He's hoping to find something that predates the maps the British produced during WWI. A second is writing a genealogical history and needs a map that would have publishing rights. He would like a detailed map of the German Palatinate ca. 1750, and a map at the largest extent of the Palatinate if that is earlier. Please reply off the list if you can help.
