Most of it seems to be pre-2000 including some of the 1996 Huntings Land Cover & Land Use 1:250,000 maps, national atlas sheets etc - scanning is at 400dpi some maps are geo-referencing (1996 Hunting maps) some maps are not.<br /><br /> A useful overview of the material can be found here: <a href="http://www.wossac.com/archive/overview_tanzania.cfm">http://www.wossac.com/archive/overview_tanzania.cfm</a><br /><br /> I haven't checked yet but some of the maps, but not the reports, may have already appeared on the Eurosoils website which also has a huge scanned archive:<br /><a href="http://eusoils.jrc.ec.europa.eu/esdb_archive/EuDASM/africa/lists/ctz.htm">http://eusoils.jrc.ec.europa.eu/esdb_archive/EuDASM/africa/lists/ctz.htm</a><br /><br /> Regards,<br /> Mike<br /><!-- html ignored --><br />
