Catherine I. Bahn published an article giving the weight of loaded map
cases that gave the weight of 200 maps in a 2" drawer in a 46" map case
as 68 pounds.

The article, "Map libraries--space and equipment was published in the
SLA Geography and Map Division Bulletin, No 46, 1961, p. 3-17.  This
article was reprinted in Map librarianship : readings / compiled by
Roman Drazniowsky.  Metuchen, N.J. : The Scarecrow Press, Inc., 1975. p.
364-384.  The table of weights is included in the WAML Tool box on the
