What perfect timing. 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.
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."

Hi all:
We are weeding our
map collections
and I need advice on the DMA maps
that we have.
We
have about 36 drawers (standard flat map drawers) of
DMA
maps. 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?
Thank you so much for your help.
Sincerely,
Siu Min
