This has been posted by Dr Brendan Whyte, Assistant Curator of Maps, National Library of Australia (although, in this case, not using NLA's e-mail address). It might be legitimate for Tony Campbell, after due consideration, to add some/all of these to his 'Fellowships, prizes and awards' page [http://www.maphistory.info/grants.html]; presently there is only one Australian grant giver on this list.
