I might suggest that, if you find a digitized map image in an institutional collection, contact them and find out whether you can obtain a file in .tiff format.  They might be able to send you a .zip file which you can extract and print.

Just an idea.

Subject: Re: Looking for maps of WWII Japanese Internment sites

Followup request with more specifics from this morning's post:

Paige,

Can you let the map lists know that I am looking for this:

To my librarian friends, we are creating an exhibition of the Japanese American Internment (Executive Order 9066), and we are looking for a map that we can either bond to foam core or scan and print and bond to foam core. The maps I've seen are too small to blow up, and I'm not seeing any sheet maps for sale that show this. Ideas? Our show opens on Feb. 19th, the 75th anniversary of the signing of EO 9066 ... so time is of the essence! 

To print it as a wall map, I understand it has to be at least 10800 pixels wide on the long dimension, and I understand that we're just not going to find an image that large on the internet. :-( So we're looking for a sheet map that I can either buy or borrow and scan.

Lots of people have sent me URLs to tiny maps on the Internet ... and the content is perfect, but they are too small for this purpose.

Example: http://www.janm.org/projects/clasc/map.htm

Thanks in advance!!
