Does anybody have any ideas about how to estimate the value of a map
collection, please? I've been asked to do this for insurance purposes in
the past, but this time I need to come up with a figure for "political"
reasons and I may need to be able to defend it in a staff meeting.
Last time I think I came up with an average price based on the replacement
cost of the maps that were fairly easy to find out (such as the BGS 1:50 000
series, and the OS Landranger and 1:10 000 sheets), then multiplied that
average price by the total number of sheets in the collection.
Thank you for any suggestions.
