Hi Julie,

I have been researching OSS maps since finding them in the LSU Cartographic Information Center.  I’m working on cartobibliography of the maps.  I have photocopies or digital camera photos of all of the OSS maps in the National Archives flat maps drawers and a photocopies of the Request Record used to access the maps at the Archives.  If you have any questions about specific maps, feel free to contact me by e-mail or phone.  I’m on Central time.

Subject: OSS maps question

Hi, all,

I’m researching the history of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) maps in order to learn more about our collections.  I’ve been searching for papers on this collection specifically and have yet to find a good article about the map production themselves – why, how the topics were chosen, etc.  Anyone know of work in this area?  I’ll keep searching, too, but thought I’d ask the collective mind.   Thanks!

Best,

Julie
