One question I am not clear about, though: The rule has always been that Canadian topos were not permitted to be copied. (I am told second hand of someone who was fined for wandering around a Canadian park with a photocopy, believe it or not). In the days of digital downloads I can't imagine that's an issue, but we still have the phrase "unless otherwise specified in the material you wish to reproduce."

I won't attempt to answer the question because I'm no expert and I could be wrong, but there was a release on February 9th about copyright and government publications in Canada which might be very useful: http://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/news/whatsNew.html#a20101203 : Great news!

US federal vessels can get free data for their electronic nav systems at http://dnc.nga.mil/NGAPortal/DNC.portal and it looks like most anybody can download the data, if they have a way to use it. It includes much of the world, including Canada. NOAA's historical maps & charts project has charts that include some areas of Canada adjacent to US waters. http://historicalcharts.noaa.gov At DavidRumsey.com, 'nautical chart canada' nabs one result http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/s/80kv52 The only other source of charts I used for my master's thesis was the New York Public Library's digital collections -- that same search gives two results: http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchresult.cfm?keyword=nautical+charts+canada Jon McConnel Whatcom Community College Bellingham, WA On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 7:56 AM, Angie Cope <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: Canadian Natuical Charts > Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2011 16:40:07 -0800 > From: Robert Lopresti <[log in to unmask]> > To: Maps, Air Photo, GIS Forum - Map Librarianship <[log in to unmask]> > > > Is there a place on the web to find Canadian Nautical Charts for free? > > Thanks for your wisdom. > Rob > > > Rob Lopresti > Map Librarian, Liaison for Huxley College and Government Information > Librarian > Western Washington University > 360-650-3342 [log in to unmask] > -- -Jon McConnel [log in to unmask]
