Unfortunately the Department is not able to provide valuations: for this you should contact an antiquarian bookseller or auction house. MapRecord Publications has a list of dealers in antiquarian maps on its website. Also look at London Map Fairs; International Antiquarian Mapsellers Association (IAMA); The Marketplace and Map Collecting sections of the Map History / History of Cartography site. For a guide to prices the OldMaps.com website is a useful place to look. See also Map Department Information Sheet 1G - Dealers in old maps and atlases (a MS Word document) or ask a member of Map Department staff for a copy
