[Talk-GB] 1:25,000 OOC OS maps - Update

[Andy Robinson]

As many may know I've been collecting OS 1:25k provisional edition map
sheets for the last few years. I'd got to around a third of the set of 2027
sheets before the summer. As a result of a very generous donation from the
University of Glasgow (Thanks go to Mike Shand) I now have 66% of the full
set. In addition I have many different sheet editions for the north of the
country and Scotland and a great many duplicates, some of which will be sold
to help raise funds to secure the remaining 1/3rd of the set that are still
needed for full coverage.

I've now finished cataloguing the provisional series maps from Glasgow, over
1850 sheets in all, and you can find the updated table and graphical chart
showing coverage from the links at:

The next job will be to restart rectification and tiling to enable their use
in the OSM editing tools and other purposes. Because of the sudden influx
I'm looking at possibilities of scanning off site and distributing the
rectification process, all suggestions and offers on that would be most
appreciated.

Ping me if you have any questions or have an area of coverage you would
particularly like to see available soon.

You can see the current tiled sheets at:
