(www.metaledgeinc.com). We've ordered folders from them -10pt., buffered, acid-free, 36"x48" and 24"x36". Other sizes available. Good luck on your map foldering.

There are map collection supply vendors for different things on this list and I'm sure you can find one or more companies that supply archival map folders (maybe under "Map Preservation Supplies").

Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2007 12:00:02 -0500 From: Gretchen Gould <[log in to unmask]> To: Maps, Air Photo & Geospatial Systems Forum <[log in to unmask]> I am a fairly new gov't docs/maps librarian here at the University of Northern Iowa. I need some help in identifying a good vendor to purchase map folders from. No one around here has ordered map folders for years and we just ran out. These are folders (like manila folders, except for maps) that we use inside of the map drawers/cases to separate and protect the maps. If you know of a vendor that supplies these type of folders, please let me know. Thanks, Gretchen Gould [log in to unmask]
