Dear Dawn
We house our rare map collections in mylar pockets. The pockets are made up
for us in about 15-20 sizes with handkerchief roll edges on 3 sides, the
fourth side left open so we can remove the map if we need to. We will then
for scanning, etc, but not for reader use. As far as I am aware the Mylar
allows the maps to "breathe" and even those that are sealed have not
suffered any problems. We also have the maps flat in metal drawers, the
cabinets for which are then housed in a room with temperature and humidity
controls so that the environment stays within acceptable, stable limits.
Yours sincerely

In encapsulating maps, I have been warned by some preservation experts
that one end should be left open to allow some air circulation. If you
do this, you can remove the maps for scanning later. Any further
thoughts out there on this issue???

I am starting a major campaign of map encapsulation. However, at some
point I would like to scan a number of these maps. Is it possible to scan
encapsulated maps, will it hurt the scan quality? Any help that people can
provide would be appreciated.
