MONTHLY REPORT FOR THE MAP LIHFWRY DIVISION
December 1956
25X1A9A
1. Summary of Statistics for Receipts, Processing,, and Dis-
bursments of the Map Library Division, December 1956 (on next page),
2n The tapering off of the urgent calls for maps of the Near
Fast, together w_th the advent of the Christmad seaso4 contributed to
a decreased activity in the Map Library, in most parts, This was
reflected in numbers of requests for service, as well as in sheets
issued,
34 OTR, was furnished appropriate maps for the new
course, The Use of Maps for Intelligence osea, Samples of v.srioua
map projections, s cal s, grids, and#o a sy mio were selected for
presentation during the course and quantities of other maps were
provided for class exercises. In addition, Mr. Barnes,-the now
Publications Procurement Officer for Moscow, was briefed on the needs
of the Map Library and was given a selection of CIA and ANS maps for
the use of the Embassy at Moscow.
., An element of service and use of the Map Library not reflected
in the statistics is found in the use made of the collections by ACIC
research personnelo They are required, in the course of their research?
to fully exploit the Map Library, and frequently do all of their work
i.n the collections,, not borrowing the maps for use in their awn offices.
For the most part they are interested in recent, large scale special
subject maps and recent city plans which have annotations and instal-
lations0
5,, The review of map holdings covering the U.S,,ScR~ was completed,,
and 425 special subject maps, 650 series sheets were selected Sr
aforwarding to the Depository,
6~ Procurement operations continue to yield additional Russian
and Satellite materials,, Those received in December include seventeen
new oblast maps, a 1954 city plan of Riga, telephone directories for
Minsk and Kishinev, a 1956 gazetteer of Rumania, street guide for
Bucharest, six Chinese atlases, a 1956 map of Yuglaa showing
administrative divisions, and a new political map of India, The
gazetteer of Rumania contained an excellent map which is currently
being reproduced in quantity for Library servicing requirements.
