Hello, Thank you everyone for your input and assistance. I have discovered so far that Goad were bought by Experian. The old fire insurance plans were not retained by Experian but sold to PMRS (Pedestrian Market Research Services) - Mark Boxer. I have spoken to Mark who has explained that these fire insurance plans are to be scanned and then sold as digital data. Negotiations are being finalised with the company that is to do this. PMRS will retain the original collection. If / when I discover more about this or other avenues, I will let lis- maps know, regards Julia **************************************************** Julia Barrett, Architecture/Planning Librarian, UCD, Richview, Clonskeagh, Dublin 14, Ireland Tel: 00 353 1 716 2741; Fax: 00 353 1 283 0329 email:[log in to unmask]
