Hi Mary,

We have about 30 of these maps and have no plan to get rid of them.  I'm
not sure I'd actively collect them.  Seems like someone should.  They
are interesting in their construction although difficult to scan!

Best,

Julie

Colleagues, I’m going through the back room here and am interested in
weeding a large number of older, folded(mostly Falk, mostly European
city) maps.  Before I have my student list them all out  for a dup-list,
I wondered---is anyone keeping these?  Some go back to the 50s and 60s,
but we don’t have a user audience for them here and we definitely do not
have the room to keep an “historic” collection of folded maps.

Let me know on or off list if your institution, or an institution you
know of, is collecting these.

Thank you.
