Hi there,
Attached is a brief report on how we moved our collection back in 2007.

Subject: Moving a map library
Colleagues, I would appreciate advice on moving a map library.
We have about ~200 drawers in ~40 cabinets.
Do the drawers need to be emptied, and the drawers moved separate from the cases?
If so, I am in need of advice on how to move the maps.
I have some ideas, although tips from people who have done this will help. Thanks!
