Many, many copper plates used in the chart making process of the past were melted down for their copper content during WW II; I believe that was certainly the case for the old U.S. Coast & Geodetic Survey.

Until ca. the 1950-1960 many national hydrographic services produced their nautical charts using copper plates. I have noticed - for instance - that the nineteenth century Spanish plates are mentioned in: Luisa Martin-Mer�s (ed.) La Direcci�n de Trabajos Hidrogr�ficos (1797)-1908). Madrid : Ministerio de Defensa, Sectretaria General T�chnica, 2003. I was wondering if members of this list are aware of collections of plates, where they are preserved (by the hydrographic services themselves or in other collections), and if they are mentioned in literature. All help is appreciated.
