Mark,

For paper maps, we use Filmoplast tape from Neschen. It's archival quality. With other tapes, the adhesives dry out and damage the paper.

Hello mappers – a local public librarian sent me this question. It seems they have a 1972 Hubbard Relief Map that “got a little torn” and was wondering if I knew anyone who could repair it. I don’t, off the top of my head. I think if I were in that situation it probably wouldn’t occur to me to find someone who could repair it. I’d probably get out a jar of  Elmer’s glue and start sloshing away at it myself. But I’m only tangentially a map librarian. What would you all do?
