Oops! Next thing I know is I open a drawer and find English 1:20,000 maps from the 50’s from the Survey of Israel. But it is weekend and my library is closing and if I don’t get out I will have to stay here till Sunday… Sorry… Kriina From: Krina DoekesBran Sent: Thursday, 19 May 2022 18:39 To: Maps-L: Map Librarians, etc. <[log in to unmask]>; McEathron, Scott R <[log in to unmask]> Subject: RE: Palestine 1:20k/Israel 1:20k Dear Scott, After reading Ahava Cohen’s mail I read yours a little bit more careful. The sheets your faculty member wants from the 50’s are mostly already printed in Hebrew. Down below I mentioned the last English and the first Hebrew sheets that are in our holdings. There could be some sheets that we don’t have but it gives a consistent picture of the situation. The last English printing was usually in 1948/1949 (by the army – they usually don’t mention if they changed anything from the British mapping they copied). Maybe your faculty member would be willing to consider using 1:100,000 sheets that were printed by the Survey of Israel in English and Hebrew during the 50’s. Here you see a few examples: https://huji.userservices.exlibrisgroup.com/view/UniversalViewer/972HUJI_INST/12300935760003701#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0&xywh=4723%2C5099%2C3099%2C1351 (sheet no. 1, Metulla 1953) https://huji.userservices.exlibrisgroup.com/view/UniversalViewer/972HUJI_INST/12300935470003701#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0&xywh=3338%2C4680%2C3065%2C1336 (sheet no.2 Haifa 1955) https://huji.userservices.exlibrisgroup.com/view/UniversalViewer/972HUJI_INST/12300893290003701#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0&xywh=3462%2C4009%2C3755%2C1637 (sheet no.3 Safad 1958) https://huji.userservices.exlibrisgroup.com/view/UniversalViewer/972HUJI_INST/12300892910003701#?c=0&m=0&s=0&cv=0&xywh=4076%2C4425%2C2616%2C1140 (sheet no.4 Zikhron Ya’aqov 1955) I am sure the National Library has them on their website, but I could also send you these maps scanned.
