    Abstract
    Describes the British Library's project to convert its published catalogues of printed and manuscript maps to CD-ROM, by keyboarding, contracted out to an external agency; a project which shoul result in the publication of a CD-ROM in the second half of 1994. Considers the compromises with the quality of records which carrying out the retrospective conversion in this manner entails (e.g. inaccuracy in the descriptions are maintained, missing elements in the old records are not supplied) and argues that the practicalities of getting the work done required these compromises. Stresses that in preferring compromise to impossible perfection the British Library is not behaving irresponsibly

    Abstract
    A number of projects are under way to convert to machine readable form catalogue records for historical cartographic materials. Considers how these computerized map records might be shared in future. Considers 2 distinct approaches to the problem: retrospective cataloguing (recataloguing) or restrospective conversion (retroconversion). retrospective cataloguing emphasizes record quality and therefore seeks the creation of single authoritative records, to which holding statements can be attached. Acceptance of manditory standards would be a precondition of participation. The retroconversion approach, by contrast, stresses the quantity of potential cartographic records available and underlines the importance of providing international access to as many of these as possible. Concludes that, even though most records are substandard, they are better than none at all. The plans of the Consortium of European Research Libraries to create a retrospective database of printed European materials before 1830 can provide guidance on the choice of format and output medium. However, effective eccess to any cartographic equivalent would require the creation of geographical name and subject thesauri
