I am not sure if people have heard about the Counties Mayo and Clare having their 1838 Ordnance Survey maps placed online with free access to all (remotely), but I wrote to Leitrim Library and requested that the same be done with their web site. This is their reply: "Your query re putting 1837 OSI maps online. "Unfortunately this is not possible for the following reason:- "Some counties like Clare or Mayo have digitised these maps and now have them online but the only negotiations Leitrim have with OSI is to have these 1937 historical maps available online in our 9 branch libraries only for members of the public to physically visit the library and access the maps. Unfortunately remote access is not available." So for those of you who can make it to the library branches, you will be able to find these digitized and available. I don't know if there is a way they can be persuaded to renegotiate with OSI, but perhaps others who wish for remote access also need to write to the library and request this, too. Susan Daily
