I haven't scanned Rumsey, but that is mostly N. American material. 

Ordnance Survey, Great Britain, Ten Mile to One-Inch Planning Map series, 1944-1960 

OS ten mile graphic

Georeferenced overlay (Mosaic Viewer) | Sheet List 

This small-scale Planning Map series provides an excellent set of thematic maps, illustrating a wide range of natural and man-made phenomena in the 1940s and 1950s. The thematic maps include Administrative Areas, Coal and Iron, Farming, Geology, Land Classification and Land Utilisation, Limestone, Population Density and Population Change, Railways, Rainfall, and Roads. The Planning Map series was initiated during the 1940s, aiming to form a survey of national life and resources, particularly to support the war effort and post-War reconstruction. A zoomable map interface to the maps, also allows searching by counties, parishes, and place names. Further Information

All, 



I have a patron researching coalfields in Great Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands from the early 19 th century through mid 20 th 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
