The last is best, but only as much weight as they will stand at first,
distributed through board.  It's after 100 years rolled that the process
gets interesting, if the rag paper is good enough.

Hello,
Any hints of the best ways to flatten rolled-up, computer-generated,
census maps? I have hundreds of these maps, some of which I suspect have
been rolled for over ten years. Use an iron? a humidifier? Just
paperweights for a year? Thanks.
