All,
I am getting all our Canadian geological maps in order. I want to figure
out which maps were issued separately and which were issued with other
publications.
Questions/Problems:
Regarding the "A" series (those maps whose numbers end with an "A"): when
did this become an independent series? Is it an independent series? As
recently as the mid 1980's, the A maps were published as parts of the
Memoirs and "Papers" series. However, some A maps seem to be published
separately. Do I have this correct? If they were published both ways, is
there a way to distinguish which is which?
Regarding the geologic maps from early in the 1900's: Were these ever
published separately, or were they only meant to accompany Memoirs, Annual
Reports, and Summary Reports?
Finally, is there a master publication index (not a searchable database,
but a list) of all the Canadian geological maps? The index maps done in
the late 1970's and early 1980's help. Ideally I would love to find a
cross-listed index; one that has a list of the "A" maps and then says
which Memoir, etc. it is in, and visa versa. While GEOSCAN
(http://ess.nrcan.gc.ca/esic/geoscan_e.php) is good, but not easy to use
for this project.
