Testing an experimental printing of the OrdnanceSurvey 1:50.000map
Comparaison entre deux méthodes d'impression de la carte au 1:50000 de l'OrdnanceSurvey. Un test expérimental, basé sur des critères de lecture de carte, n'a pas montré de différence significative au niveau de la lisibilité des deux cartes.
Authorizing landscape : authority, naming and the OrdnanceSurvey's mapping of the Scottish Highlands in the nineteenth century
L'A. s'intéresse à la conception de la carte d'Etat-Major des Highlands écossais au 19è siècle par l'OrdnanceSurvey et à la manière dont les toponymes anglais ont été utilisés pour remplacer les toponymes gaéliques. Il se réfère dans ce but aux
index originaux des toponymes de l'OrdnanceSurvey.

THE ORDNANCESURVEY IN IRELAND IS UNUSUAL IN THE GREAT WEALTH OF ITS SURVIVING HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS (MOST OF THE EQUIVALENT MATERIAL FOR THE BRITISH ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN LOST). THIS EVIDENCE THROWS LIGHT ON THE WAY DECISIONS WERE TAKEN
IN SUCH ORGANIZATIONS, AND SHOWS HOW IMPORTANT A KNOWLEDGE OF SURVEY HISTORY IS TO CHOSE WHO USE THE MAPS AS SOURCES OF TOPOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION. FOUNDED IN 1771, THE ORDNANCESURVEY WAS DIRECTED IN 1824 TO MAP IRELAND (FOR THE PURPOSE OF A VALUATION OF LAND
AND 1846| THEIR REVISION BEGAN IN 1844, AND PRODUCTION OF BOTH SMALLER AND LARGER-SCALE MAPS CONTINUED UNTIL ALMOST THE END OF THE CENTURY. THIS ACCOUNT DEALS ALSO WITH MORE RECENT ASPECTS OF IRISH SURVEY HISTORY, INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF CADESTRAL MAPS

Ce gros ouvrage réunissant les recherches de 10spécialistes développe et complète l'étude de Ch. Close, Early years of the OrdnanceSurvey, 1926, réimpr. en 1969. L'OrdnanceSurvey fut réellement fondé en 1791, à la suite des efforts du célèbre

An estimation of the characteristic of projected national digital topographic data bases for Great Britain, based on a sample of over 400 OrdnanceSurvey digital maps at 1: 1250 and 1: 2500 scales. The sources of the considerable uncertainty
in the projections are discussed: some 3000km of line work at map scale needs to be encoded to provide basic scale coverage apart from contours. With present OrdnanceSurvey methods of storage, this Would require about 580 magnetic tapes.

This paper reviews the mid-nineteenth century land valuation and soils maps promoted by Sir Robert Kane. Compiled by hand in colour on the printed base of OrdnanceSurvey county index sheets, these maps represent a pioneer initiative in the detailed
A set of 50 1:50,000 scale OrdnanceSurvey maps which cover the entire coastline of Ireland, and a single 1:850,000 scale map are used to perform a divider dimension analysis over step lengths from 100 m to 10 km (using the 1:50,000 scale maps

, Midlothian. It uncovers significant roles played in the organization of David Watson and William Roy's Military Survey of Scotland (1747–1755) by successive generations of the Dundases and suggests that the introduction of Watson, an established military
engineer, to the young civilian Roy, was facilitated by that family. The Dundases' patronage of the Military Survey encourages us to understand the project as a private-public partnership and supports contentions that Enlightenment mapping resulted from
by annual ground photography and mapping for 1981-2010. Analysis was extended backward by use of large scale OrdnanceSurvey maps from 1873 onwards. As expected, point bars are the most common type but free bars of several types are major components of bar
Cet Atlas recouvre l'Irlande dans son ensemble, même si dans certains cas, il a été difficile de présenter des données comparables pour l'Ulster et l'Eire. En règle générale, les fonds de cartes utilisés sont ceux de l'OrdnanceSurvey. Les
