The University of Southampton Libraries have contacted me to say that they have been contacted by the widow of a former member of staff there about a possible donation. The materials in question consist of 59 quality maps of the Lake Chad region, collected over a number of years. If anyone on this list is in any way interested then please contact Nigel Long (details below) and he can arrange to put you in touch with the donor.
