Greetings Ms. Glanz,

Congratulations on your gift!

You may have already checked or found out about this, but the major
companies that sell map folders and paper storage materials are:

Hollinger
www.hollingercorp.com

and

Gaylord
www.gaylord.com

If you cannot encapsulate each map you may consider separating them
within a folder with Japanese paper (probably available from both of the
above companies).

I hope this helps.

Bests,
Amy Phillips

Aloha Miriam,

Our most recent map folder orders have gone to Hollinger and Metal
Edge.  You can see their contact info and that of other map preservation
supply vendors on the WAML Toolbox webpage:

Good luck on your foldering project!

Aloha,
Ross

We've been purchasing our archival products from the Hollinger Corporation http://www.hollingercorp.com/
Their map folders are found at http://genealogicalstorage.stores.yahoo.net/mapfolders.html
