For many years I used double-sided, center-supported,
library shelving, pushed close to the wall. At the
front I used shelves without a back lip; at the back,
shelves with a back-lip, but turned the other way. The
construction of the shelf support units allowed me to
push atlases through the whole depth of the double
shelves. Necessary, of course, to keep front and back
shelves at the same interval.

Hello All,
Our library has decided to have a separate atlas section, but we
currently do not have any purpose specific shelving. The current pet
theory is that we will purchase single sided wall shelving to line the
back wall of our Government Documents department. I've looked in the
Gaylord and Demco catalogs, and the deepest single sided shelves seem to
be 13", which seems to me to be inadequate for the task. Is there a
company that makes shelving expressly for atlases or similarly oversized
books? If so, please supply a name and a contact number!
Even if there is a company that makes just what I am looking far,
does anyone else have any other way of storing their atlases that is
user friendly and space efficient?
Thanks for your help!
