About 180 paper maps of Cork have been donated to us over the past year or so, perhaps 160 are out of copyright. Blueprint Reprographics of Stillorgan (phone 01-288 9398) kindly allowed me scan 76 of the 6 inch and other town areas for OSM use.
Trinity College map library have gladly taken about 15 to fill gaps in their collection. I have published an Excel sheet on one drive listing the maps sheet no. scale, dates etc. Link to Paper map list and map scan list https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=85B8D34D71603DA!1664&authkey=!ACWUE0hWSNGuetw&ithint=folder%2c I ask any mapper who would like to use a paper copy for mapping and to then pass it on the Cork Library services for their local studies section, to please let me me know in the next seven days. I have also put on one drive a screenshot of the list of sheets scanned and can put any scans there as well and send a link to those who request them for mapping to download them. I have spoken to Cork Library Services for City and County, they are delighted at the prospect of a donation and they have agreed to include some OSM/T.ie links on their useful links pages in their local studies section and to check that at least four of our links are accessible on all Library PCs. I will arrange to deliver the paper sheets to Cork after 21st June and can leave paper sheets for mappers there for collection if that is helpful. ( They are of course available from me at Dublin as well). As ever your early replies are welcome. _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
