University of Toronto has the “Joint Maps of the International Boundary between United States and Canada” from the International Boundary Commission scanned on their Map & Data Library website (http://maps.library.utoronto.ca/cgi-bin/files.pl?idnum=1291). It sounds like that may be what Ken can across.

I have been going through a major weeding project prior to moving the sheet maps from a storage location to rejoin other materials at the science library on campus. As invariably happens in such projects, serendipitous finds unearth themselves. One such potential treasure that has come to light is a set from the early 20th-century of map sheets of the Canada - U.S. border. They are topographic strip maps, showing a narrow width of the land on either side of the border. Most of these comprise two strips per sheet, one strip above the other. As best as I can tell, this is a complete set. These are sheets about the size of small topographic quadrangles, only oriented with the longer dimension horizontal rather than vertical, Our copies are mounted on linen backing. My questions are these: Does anyone know of a digital set of these maps available in a freely accessible site? If not, is there value in creating digital copies from scans of the print originals? Any ideas are welcome. Cheers, Ken Ken Grabach Maps Librarian BEST Library, 219D Miami University Libraries Oxford, OH 45056 USA [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> 513-529-1726
