[BCMA] Canadian nautical chart collection - acquisition opportunity

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Greetings:

The Vancouver Maritime Museum has recently undergone a cataloguing  
project of its nautical chart collection.   A large quantity of  
duplicate charts (900+) have been identified.  The larger portion of  
the collection references waters of the Pacific Northwest, but other  
Canadian waters are also represented.

We are offering to transfer these charts as a unified collection to an  
interested public institution or transfer them individually by lots of  
25 (arranged by chart numbers).

The attached .pdf is an arrangement of the collection by chart name.   
The excel document can be sorted by chart number.  Chart indices are  
available at: Canadian Hydrographic (Nautical) Charts

Charts have been arranged into lots of 25 individual items (arranged  
in sequential chart numbers).  Each lot has been boxed and made ready  
for shipment.  Each box weighs approximately 5kg and measures 122cm x  
21cm x 21cm.   Shipping costs per box, within BC,  are estimated to  
cost $20.00 per lot,  $40 further afield such as Ontario.

Please contact the museum curator if you are interested in acquiring  
the collection or portions thereof.
