May I comment on Woodrow Thompson's email of 2 January?
Please be aware that these were reproduced without permission from

If you do as Woodrow suggests you would, therefore, be purchasing
material which infringes the 1988 Copyright Act.
For what it's worth there's an ethical dimension to this which is that
many, even most of you, may have research work or source material you'd
like to claim as your own, even commercially exploit perhaps. If we
don't recognise this we may all be disadvantaged by the free-for-all
which will develop or face the possibility of bigger organisations
sweeping-up everything before them in an unregulated digital space.

Hello all:
The annotated Hamilton Jenkin maps were compiled onto a CD by Mike Merry
in Camborne. I have a copy and it's very useful. Here's a link to
Mike's website, where the CD is advertised for sale:
