Toni

Thanks for your message. We can put barcodes on the mylar but not all our
maps are in mylar and if we tried to do that the collection might fall
through the floor due to the added weight (amongst other problems)!

Does anyone else have any thoughts, or are we all waiting for someone else
to figure it out?!

April,

I wanted to let you know what we do for our historic Wyoming maps.  All
of them are encapsulated and any tags, barcodes, labels, etc. go on the
mylar.  Some maps are actually property-stamped, others are not, but our
barcode has "University of Wyoming" on it as a sort of property stamp.

Hope this helps,
Toni

Hello

I would like to widen out the discussion and ask if anyone has any
experience they would be willing to share with using
identifying/tracking
mechanisms on maps (other than the standard ink ownership stamp),
especially
with antiquarian materials. As we are yet to meet the preservation
department which is willing to let us slap barcode stickers on 400 year
old
maps, has anyone made any other progress with this issue?

Thanks.
