Are you kidding?  A great part of our collection includes rolled wall maps.  They get used all the time by our faculty, staff, and students.  If anything, they want more.  I keep having a hard time finding thematic wall maps of Africa, Asia and the Middle East.  The industry seems to lean toward Western history as opposed to Eastern and African history.

RE MAPS-L: Rolled wall maps - modern thoughts ...

Happy Friday everyone!

In this day and age of digital this and digital that, I'm curious what others are doing with their rolled wall maps.

Do you keep them?

Do you use them?

How do you store them?

What is their value in the world of historic cartographic information?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Angie
