Dear Bill Stevenson,
By "spatial data" and "collections" do you mean map
libraries? If old-fashioned paper maps, aerial photograph- and
satellite image-derived mapping is what you are after - in part or in
toto - then you could start with IFLA's (out-of-date, admittedly)
'World directory of map collections', the British Cartographic Society
Map Curators' Group Publication No.4 'A directory of U.K. map
collections', 3rd ed., compiled by Joan Chibnall (1995), and 'NAPLIB
directory of aerial photographic collections in the United Kingdom',
1st ed.(London: ASLIB, 1993). Or - perhaps more significantly - you
could talk to colleagues in the Royal Library (DK) Map Library and/or
LIBER Map Curators' Group colleagues (e.g. Jan Smits, Royal Library,
The Hague)... Or are you after digital data/GIS?
Yours sincerely
Francis Herbert
Curator of Maps, RGS, London
