******apologies for cross posting****** Dear all, I know many people dislike this type of approach, but I find myself with no alternative but to use it, so apologies. Those of you who can help me will do so, and those of you who cannot will hear no more about it. I am a curator of manuscript maps in the Dept of Manuscripts at the British Library. I am trying to write a dissertation on descriptive standards for maps in archival collections and am looking for a cross section of professional opinion. I have a very short questionnaire (10 straightforward questions) relating to the nature and use of descriptive standards for map collections. I will say no more at this time other than to ask that anybody who is prepared to answer my questions please contact me directly to avoid disturbing those list members who have no interest.
