The National Library of Scotland often provides photocopies of out-of-copyright OS maps (up to A0 size) for libraries and archives to fill gaps in their collections. As photocopy paper is rather too fragile for regular public use, we can reinforce by laminating (on the face of the map), or backing with Area Bonded Fibre, or as a cheaper option, the photocopies can be made on opaque or tracing drawing film (not suitable for folding). Costs (including VAT) are: A0 photocopy on paper £5.05 A0 photocopy on drawing film £12.22 A0 paper photocopy with ABF backing £12.98 A0 paper photocopy with lamination £14.75 Depending on quantities there might be a small handling charge (up to 90p per sheet). Postage/packing are extra. If you wish to make further copies for your users there may also be a reproduction permission fee. Our holdings of English OS maps are quite good, but incomplete, so we would need to check to see if we had your missing maps. We can provide samples and a fuller price-list on request. Apologies to lis-maps for the sales pitch!
