(A) Unfortunately there is no 'Guide to European Mapcollections'. However if we would think about publishing one it would, as far as libraries are concerned, for the larger part duplicate the information in : "World directory of Map Collections. - 3rd ed.. - Mu[e]nchen etc. : K.G. Saur, 1993. - 310 p." This guide contains extensive information about 19 Italian, 15 French and 19 Swiss map collections. Furthermore it gives the titles of guides to map collections in France (published in "Intergeo Bulletin, 100, 1990) and Switserland (Karten in Schweizer Bibliotheken und Archiven. - Zu[e]rich (Kartensammlung, Ra[e]mistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zu[e]rich) : ETH-Bibliothek, 1992).

Sun, 08 May 94 13:58:31 -0700 There is the guide that the IFLA map group put together - World Directory of Map Collections (1976) is what's on the shelves here, but I seem to remember reading about a new edition.
