The American Geographical Society Libary at UW Milwaukee has "a bunch"
of these - undocumented as to how many. Perhaps a topic of some research
that one of our fellowships could sponsor?? (Read below)

* Fellowships for 2011 at the American Geographical Society Library *

Applications deadline October 18, 2010

The American Geographical Society Library, University of

geographical research results to a broad, educated general audience.
Awards of $3,300 for four-week fellowships will be provided to support
residencies for the purpose of conducting research that makes direct use
of the Library, and results in publication in a mutually agreed outlet.
*Helen and John S. Best Research Fellowships.* Stipends of $400 per
week, for periods up to 4 weeks, will be awarded to help support
residencies for the purpose of conducting research that makes direct use
of the Library.


The AGS Library, the former research library and map collection of the
American Geographical Society of New York, has strengths in geography,
cartography and related historical topics. More information on the AGS

LSU has 539 OSS maps which, after comparing our collection against the
first 140 on the list of SU's that John Olson sent, seems to be a subset
of the SU holdings.  Also identified two maps so far that SU has that
weren't in the National Archives.

Not sure of your definition of "large" here relative to OSS maps but
we do have quite a few here at Penn State.
