Someone requested a DMA map recently for interlibrary loan. I couldn't find it so I went online to look for it. A few of them are online via the Office of Coast Survey, NOAA. Even though there is a map viewer available, you cannot download them due to copyright restrictions. http://www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/mcd/NGAChartViewer.html Below is the response I got yesterday when I sent an email as to why there wasn't a way to download the chart. So, it may actually be beneficial to retain them since you cannot find comparable maps for downloading. BTW, NGA is the current name of what was previously known as NIMA and DMA. /*"Dear Mr. Diaz,*/ /**/ /**/ /*I received your voice mail regarding NGA charts. First, we only offer a few NGA charts to be viewed as most of those charts have copyright restrictions on them. NGA is a totally different agency than NOAA. NOAA offers its charts as they are in the public domain. NGA must negotiate contracts with other countries--so many of the charting services will not allow NGA to display their charts.*/ /**/ /**/ /**/ /*Nick Perugini, Inquiry Manager, Office of Coast Survey."*/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ,-~~-.___. / | ' \ "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of ( ) 0 the few or the one." \_/-, ,----' ==== // Mr. Spock / \-'~; /~~~(O) Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan / __/~| / | =( _____| (_________| Carlos A.

We have about 36 drawers (standardflat map drawers) of DMAmaps. They are all in good conditions. I am not sure if these maps are federal depository map or not. I could not find anything from CGP. The maps do not have depository stamp on it and do not have SuDoc call number on it. These maps are arranged by series. Examples printed on the map: Series 1301 Sheet SC 36& PT 35 Edition 3-GSGS Series L500 Sheet NH 44-7 Edition 1-AMS Series Q501 Sheet NQ 3, 4-7 Edition 1-AMS Can anyone tell me these are Federal Depository items? If so, what is the SuDoc. # I would like to know the historical value of these maps. Are they worth keeping? Are they online? I would rather find them a good home than to withdraw them. Do you know of any library would like to have them? Thankyou so much for your help.
