*"UNESCO UK Memory of the World Register*

The London County Council's iconic series of Second World War Bomb
Damage maps has recently been added to the UNESCO UK Memory of the World
Register. It is one of a select group of eleven items and collections to
be added to the list of the UK's outstanding documentary heritage in
2013, and is LMA's second contribution to the list following the
inclusion of the King William I Charter in 2010. Howard Doble tells more

'Lis-maps' and 'MAPS-L' subscribers may recall that 'The London County
Council bomb damage maps 1939-1945', with an introduction by Robin
Woolven ; edited by Ann Saunders (London : London Topographical Society
; London Metropolitan Archives, 2005), ISBN 0-902087-51-7, LTS's own
Publication No.164 was a 'best seller'.
