Description (What the record is about)
-
Founded in October 1980 by fifteen people meeting at the British Library, the Charles Close Society (www.charlesclosesociety.org.uk) has a current membership (2007) of over 550, and is publisher of several definitive books on Ordnance Survey and military mapping. Its journal, Sheetlines, is issued thrice yearly. The archive contains some working papers, indexes to Sheetlines, some of its ephemeral publications, also a collection started in 2002 of security images on CD-rom (mostly TIF images) of very rarely encountered Ordnance Survey and military maps which, because of their potentially unique state, might otherwise be in danger of extinction. Those with NLS reference numbers can also be viewed in the National Library of Scotland.
