UK map librarians who have not had this message relayed to them may be interested in this mapping. Thanks to Kamie for forwarding the message originally. Philip Guest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Philip Rees School of Geography University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT [log in to unmask] To: Census Users Date: 1st July, 1993 Subject: Map Offer by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys OPCS wishes to dispose of a surplus copy of its enumeration district planning maps from the 1971 Census in order to release warehouse space. Permission has been obtained to break up the map set into convenient county or region subsets: the whole set is too large for any one University map library to easily accept. The maps are copies of OS maps at a mixture of scales (1:2,500 1:10,000 1:25,000) upon which the ED and ward boundaries have been marked. They cover England and Wales. They will be of particular interest to researchers wishing to look at change from 1971 to 1991. The map sets are offered free at the point of collection (the warehouse is in Christchurch, Dorset, I believe). That is, your department or map library will need to arrange selection of the relevant maps and their shipping back to your library. If your University or department would be interested in acquiring and housing part of this OPCS map collection, please contact: Mr. Alex Clark Head, Census Processing Office of Population Censuses and Surveys Titchfield Fareham Hants PO15 5RR Tel 0329 842511 by the 31st July, 1993. Please pass this letter on to your Map Curator/Librarian for consideration. Yours sincerely, Philip Rees
