This does not address Andria's question (i.e., "Were these Children's Bureau maps separately issued?"), but I want to clarify something about the Serial Set maps Jim referenced. I managed the scanning project from the UMd. end, so I had a front row seat. The purpose of that scanning project, which was undertaken when the product was still owned by LexisNexis, was to upgrade the existing digital Serial Set's b&w maps, all of which had been scanned from microfiche. When we set out to ID and locate and extract maps from bound Serial Set (or equivalent agency-issued) volumes, we aimed specifically for high value targets that would most effectively replace the low-res b&w scans, i.e., anything that was color, oversized, and/or graphically detailed that couldn't be easily read online. So if the low-res, b&w fiche scans were good enough to communicate the map content, we left 'em alone and did not pull print copies for scanning. The b&w maps I see in those digitized CB reports are page maps (not oversize), and they're not very graphically complicated. Money and time were in short supply by the time we'd entered the early 20th century (the project proceeded chronologically through the Serial Set), so if the CB reports are in the Serial Set (they don't ring a bell, but it's been a dozen years), it is highly unlikely that we scanned them. That is, whatever's in the ProQuest product will likely look similar to what you can see at the URL Andria sent out. Not that anybody was asking. ;) mf On Tue, Sep 29, 2020 at 9:11 AM James Nealis < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > Andria, > > The student might check the Proquest Congressional site for "serial maps" > - the U.S. government may have published reports about this topic back in > the 1920s.
