Hello Nina.
I thought that members of the History of Geology Group might have an
interest in the following map, recently displayed on the free access
MAPCO website:
Stanford's Geological Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1878
http://london1878.com
Click on the thumbnail images at the top of the page to navigate the
map. Scroll down the subsequent page and click on the map image
displayed to view a highly enlarged image. Full instructions are at
the bottom of the first page, linked above.
I hope that your members find this of interest.
Kind regards,
David Hale,
Adelaide,
South Australia.

The registration process for the Conference on Geological Collectors

The conference - which includes workshops, posters and
behind-the-scenes tours as well as talks, and covers collecting of
geological maps and books in addition to the collecting of fossils,
rocks and minerals - is timed to coincide with the Christies London
Sale of Travel, Science and Natural History Artefacts on 6 April
2011. Conveners include John Henry (HOGG member, and proprietor of
19th Century Geological Maps), Sarah Long (Head of Palaeontology
Collections at the Natural History Museum London), and Nina Morgan

This event will cater for a broad range of interests, and is open to
