We have about 700 in our collection. They were originally classed using the OSS call number classification until we re-classed them into LC. None of ours have been scanned yet.
The master collection of these maps is still in the National Archives in RG 226

Subject: OSS maps - scanned?
Greetings,
I have been sorting through our map collection and found a number of the 1940s maps from the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) and GSGS (Geographical Section, General Staff). There are a few small city plans
of small towns, topo maps, administrative maps, population, and economic geography maps.
Some libraries have cataloged their print copies, but I wondered whether they were available online. The Hathi Trust links that I found didn’t work.
I am surprised that I haven’t been able to find evidence that anyone has scanned these maps. Am I missing something?
Michael
