Arrangement
An index sheet showing the civil parishes and the Ordnance Survey maps of each county, together with detached sheets of adjoining counties, is usually included in the first volume for each county. Readers who do not find a sheet where it might be expected among the county sheets should examine the volumes for the appropriate adjoining county: most index sheets have undated MS additions indicating the neighbouring county sheets that have been included.

-
These maps were collected in the House of Commons Library, probably between 1900 and 1968 to judge from the dates of the maps themselves, and transferred to the Public Record Office in Chancery Lane in 1969. On consolidation of the Chancery Lane and Kew Library holdings at Kew, in 1996, they were listed and placed on open access shelves in the Map and Large Document Reading Room.
