Hello all,

I’ve been trying to help a researcher locate some geologic maps of Myanmar (formerly Burma). Attached are the two documents he has provided as examples. I have the UN ESCAP report (http://alliance-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/UW:all:CP71143225720001451).

What I haven’t been able to locate are the supposed geologic maps related to this report (see attachment: Map No. 2 Pinlebu…) as a separate set. There are some maps included in the UN ESCAP report, but they are black and white copies from what I assume is a full-color set. Any help, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Matt

Subject: Geological maps and technical report

Hi Matthew,

All my wishes for 2017!

I am Alexis Licht, new assistant professor in Earth and Space Sciences. We briefly met during orientation last September.

I've been working in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) for long now, but I never succeeded to get precise geological maps from there. There is yet a technical report from the United Nations made during the late 70's, full of maps, descriptions and logs. I've attached two pieces of this report that I succeeded to get from my Burmese colleagues. You'll find the references of the technical report in the files.

I would like to have access to the complete material from this report, and have it digitized. I have yet no idea of where I should look for it. It should be accessible as it was made by the UN. Would you mind helping me to find them? I would have three requests for you, with increasing level of difficulty:

-Could you locate the closest copy of the full UN report?

-Could you have it transferred to UW via an inter-library loan, including the maps?

-Is there a way to digitize it? Or should I do it myself?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Alexis
