Hello, all: We at the University of Utah's Marriott Library have
just moved up three floors. Our old home on Level 1 has been cleaned
out for retrofitting. In a locked room we rediscovered some old maps
that we'd previously gone through and thought about taking to a WAML
conference sometime, but they never made it. More efficient, no
doubt, to use MAPS-L to offer these old, often one-of-a-kind maps
to collections that could use them. (Nevadans and mining schools,
esp. take note!) We'll cover postage, so please provide mailing
address.
(Fair warning: some of these are "windowshades" and will need some
preservation treatment to get "uncurled.") -- KR
