It's been a while since I looked this up, but
don't the sellers of map cases inform you as
to both interior and exterior measurements
of their map cases?
so if you go to www.mayline.com (I hope I'm
remembering that correctly from recent maps-l
traffic), that should give you the info.
If it doesn't, send the mapcase firm an
email and ask for the information.

I am very interested in systems that archives and libraries use to organize their map case drawers (e.g. folder sizes, partitions].
