Hi,


I have been digging in my collection of old maps and have found
following maps that must be out of copyright, detailed, and cover an
area with very bad areal pictures.

This is what I have found:

- topographic map of Turnhout, 1935, no autor, NGI, color, scale 1:20000
(original)

- topographic map of Turnhout, 1935, no autor, NGI, black/white, scale
1:40000 (includes Wuustwezel, Meer, Baarle Hertog, Weelde, Oud-Turnhout,
Zevendonk / Groot Rees, Vlimmeren, Malle, St. Job, and everything within
this area) (original)

- copy of topographic maps, undated but around 1880, scale 1:40000 or
1:50000
	- Turnhout
	- Casterlé
	- Arendonck
	- Rethy
These 4 together cover the area from Meer (Northwest) Vorselaar
(Southwest) Dessel (Southeast) and the dutch border (northeast)


The first one is well framed and i prefer not to take it out of its
frame. 

Does someone see problems in using these maps as a source?? 

I can take hi-res pictures of the maps and distribute them to who can
use it, or a better sollution would be if someone has a A2 or A1 fladbed
scanner on his desk???

Luc.
