Following a deafening non-response to last my last week's mail I badly need
advice from as many of you as possible as to how I distribute or dispose of
about 270 paper OS sheets of County Meath, all except 10 of these were
published prior to 1965 and so are considered out of copyright. Ciaran had
posted a list of c.1200 maps last july which caused no response but I
recently received a futher donation 39 maps for Meath.

*Please I really would welcome some sort of voiced consensus or even near
consensus as long as it is voiced*.

Are these a useful source of data (new data or for correcting typos
unreadable from GSGS sheets)?

Does anybody want to use them as paper sheets with Bing to add still
existing burial places etc?

There are 84 6", 193  1:2500 and 2 1:1250 and a townplan of 'Innfield'
dating from 1943.

Does anyone think we should somehow scan the townplan maps with a view to
at some later date add them to a maps.openstreetmap.ie layer as we have the
Barthomelew etc?

Does anybody want to take some to wring them dry of data useful to add to
OSM and then either keep the sheet personally or pass it on to their local
studies group at their local library?.

OR DO I PUT THEM ALL IN THE CAR *NEXT SATURDAY *AND HAND THEM ALL OVER TO
MEATH COUNTY COUNCIL Local studies section?

Please post your relies here whether or not you also wish to air the matter
on facebook or Twitter?

Enquires also sought re maps of 22 other counties (excluding the special
case of Dublin for the time being.)

Apologies if I sound frustrated but would rather not make a decision on my
own. So please share your opinion now before it is too late.

Thank you
