Nick [et al.],
Thank you for (expected) sad news.
I have just forwarded a bibliographical note to the Editors of Sheetlines : the journal of the Charles Close Society for the study of Ordnance Survey maps about Nigel’s two published compilations of OS lists (etc.) in the Bodleian Library’s Map Room/Library – his ‘Maplist’ Nos 1 and 2 respectively (maybe you could add others?); with a suggestion that a short note about Nigel might be appropriate in the next issue.

Subject: Sad news : Nigel James
Dear All,
It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Nigel James finally lost his courageous battle with mantle cell lymphoma, and died at home on 15 July. After just over 32 years in post, Nigel, the Bodleian Library’s Assistant Map Librarian retired in October 2010. He leaves a wife, two grown-up children, and a grandson.
It is too early to have news of the funeral, etc. I will post details when they are known.
Please pass on this news to anyone you think should know.
Best wishes,
Nick Millea
