Ken:
You might care to enquire of Derek Morgan: of which country (England, Wales,
Scotland, Ireland) and at which scale (1:1 000 000 'national' coverage or
1:500 town plans)! If nearer the larger scale end, then local/county
libraries and/or record offices may have something microfiched - if only to
save wear and tear on their original paper copies.

Dear sir/madam,
I am trying to track down copies of the 1880 and 1908 OS maps on microfiche
for sale. Do you know of any such items, or where I might go next?
I know that such things were produced in the passed and that a lot fell foul
of being binned with the advent of more modern mapping and storage.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Derek Morgan
