'The Family Atlas, containing 80 maps, constructed by eminent geographers, and engraved on steel, under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge', a gift to Tim Robinson from Dr. Philip Robinson.

File of 19th and 20th century Ordnance Survey maps of Aran. Although the items in this file are undated, it is probable these are the early building blocks of Robinson's 1975 map of the Aran Islands. The OS maps have been cut into fragments and heavily annotated, with the Irish language version of each placename written in, local features drawn, corrections and updates added, and some additional features hand-drawn using coloured ink.

There are 7 cut outs in total. Two from OS Map Sheet 110, one from Sheet 111, and four from Sheet 119. These are taken from the 1966 edition of the 6 inch OS map.

Also filed with these maps are photocopies from other reference maps, with annotations. These seem likely to have come later, when Robinson went on to update his mapping. One is a hand-drawn sketch on tracing paper entitled 'Aran areas of small fields 1cm²'.

6pp of Robinson's notes with calculations on the fields in Árainn, giving average perimeters, grids and calculations.

Four copies of sections of the 1839 OS map showing Baile na Sean.

Printing layouts, fonts and size are all detailed in mockups of the Connemara map for the Connacht Tribune. Photographic material, paper, and floppy disc are all included in this file.

Seven final published Burren maps. 'The Burren: a two-inch map of the uplands of north-west Clare'.
