Introduction
Joe Rosenburg, the inaugurator and President of Tyneside Group, then Northumbria Area of the Ramblers, passed away in 2003. He bequeathed a sum of money to set up the Tyneside Map Library. This comprised of Pathfinder, Outside Leisure, Explorer and Landranger maps, covering all of our walking area, and places beyond. This was then managed and added to, by Ann Key until her sudden death in 2014. After Ann's death all of her own personal map collection was also added to it. The total collection at the moment is 317. Some, if not most of the maps, do not have open access areas on them, (which does not matter if one is only using public rights of way!). Some, not all, are also laminated.
As the Tyneside Map Library, has not been used very often for some time, and because all of the current Tyneside walk leaders, usually have their own maps, It was agreed by the committee that library should be opened to the whole of the Northumbria Area, in memory of both Joe and Ann, for their great contribution to the Ramblers Association.
Malcolm McVey has volunteered to take Ann's place with full responsibility for the collection, which is still being added to by various retiring members.
