Subject: Re: more map storage advice please
I am wondering if anyne in library land has seen a catalog listing of metal map
cases with wooden finishes, and can cite the source? He is looking for map cases
to use in his home. I have advised him to avoid wooden cases for the damage they
can do to paper maps, and mentioned metal cases with wooden painted finishes.
However, now I cannot find a source! Any ideas on maps-l? Mr. Boulay is the
enquirer, but a reply to maps-l might help others also...many thanks, Alice
Hudson

I wanted to jump in and ask if anyone has suggestions on where to buy a map
case.
The kind I want is a floor model that has enough drawers to store maps from
several different collections.
Any comments on the kind I should buy, dealers, wood vs. metal are
appreciated.
Thank you
