All,

We’ve kept selected older editions of the Pacific northwest (OR, WA).  We keep the most recent printed edition of everything that we received through the FDLP.  However, our selection of NOAA regions and international charts appears to have varied over time, so we don’t have comprehensive (outdated) coverage.

Whenever we get queries about printed nautical chart, my first question is “Are you using these for navigation?” If yes, I recommend they go to NOAA’s website or contact a shop that does print on demand.

Greetings,

Does anyone keep old editions of their nautical charts?  We have some for our region, but otherwise just the latest at the time the charts stopped coming on our depository.

Do you just rely on the Office of Coast Survey’s Historical Map & Chart Collection https://historicalcharts.noaa.gov/about.html ?
