If you do this, you can remove the maps for scanning later. Any further thoughts out there on this issue??? Dr. Dawn Youngblood, Ph.D Archaeology Edwin J.

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.
