I have a question!
 
We at the Milwaukee Public Library have Sanborn atlases for
the city of Milwaukee.  Ours are bound volumes with
double-sided leaves.  We found out from our friend
Christopher Baruth at the AGS collection that they were
issued as single sided leaves.  Ours have some sort of
muslin glued between two sequential sheets to make
double-sided leaves.  Our leaves are very badly warped (like
when you drop a regular book into water).  My questions:
does anyone else have Sanborns in this format?  are they
warped like ours?  and what have you done to preserve them?
 
Please respond to the list, and many thanks,
 
Kirsten Thompson
