Hi, ‘MAPS-L’ folk.

 

You have received two positive responses from over here (UK) – from NLS. In this connection I have just forwarded that of Paula Williams to the ‘Lis-maps’ (chiefly British Isles map folk) discussion list; my thinking being based on the essentially geological feature of Dennis Matthews’ request, and in the full expectation that either the Geological Society of London and/or British Geological Survey (Keyworth, Nottinghamshire, and/or Edinburgh HQs) come up with some more scanned items – or suggestions for scanning/

All,

 

I have a patron researching coalfields in Great Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands from the early 19th century through mid 20th and he would like some maps to include in his report.  I don’t have anything in my collection but found these two maps online:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:British.coalfields.19th.century.jpg and http://etc.usf.edu/maps/pages/7200/7264/7264z.htm.  Also looking through David Rumsey in the meantime.  Wondering if anyone has maps for those areas scanned for their collection or print maps where I could get scanned copies?

 

Thanks,

 

Dennis
