Sorry for the incomplete information

The repairs include everything from minor tears to rips almost through
the map to patching with rice paper to make up for parts that are
missing. The tears have been repaired with rice paper and methyl
cellulose but it doesn't appear to stay affixed. Don't tell my southern
colleagues but I've also used Filmoplast repair tape but it seems to not
want to stick as well.

Any ideas as to what could work?

     Susan,

     What kinds of "repairs" are you talking about? Tears along the edges?
     Something more ominous? We have a very strong Preservation Dept.
     in-house here at Penn State and I could put you in touch with the Dept.
     Head if needed/wanted.

     Paige

     We've got a number of black line prints that need repair. Our fellow
     regent university to the south that actually has a preservation
     department did this for us. Unfortunately, the repairs don't seem to be
     sticking and they are coming undone. Does anyone know how you can
repair
     black line prints? I did a quick web search and came up with nothing.
