Hello Members,

 

I am seeking some advice on purchasing back copies of OS maps for use in our Local Studies Library.  We have a rather large gap in our series and are looking to rectify this.  Is there a reliable source to purchase historical OS maps, printed A1-A2 size? Details of companies used would be helpful.  Any similar institutions that regularly purchase an OS series; I would be interested in a) the regularity of the series purchased, the budget set aside, the format it is made accessible to the public.

 

Please reply off list – I’m happy to forward general comments.

 

 

Kind Regards
