I am hoping the good folks in Maps-L can help me out with something.  I
am
trying to identify maps in our collection that might be considered rare.

Is there a list of such items available?  What is your circulation
policy?
What conservation methods are needed?

Our collection consists of mostly USGS topographic maps from the PNW
states
and British Columbia, BLM maps, nautical charts, aeronautical charts,
Forest
Service maps, wall maps, highway maps of the 50 states, National
Geographic
maps, soil survey maps, etc.

We do have some old topographic maps in our collection and one of my
favorite atlases is the U.S. Bureau of the Census' Statistical Atlas of
the
11th Census, 1890.

Any help you can give me would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
