Hello,
The trick that I have found works well is to reverse roll them.
I have managed to obtain several long square tubes (actually boxes that
came with plotter paper). When we get new maps that need to be
flattened, we take a map tube, roll the maps around the tube and then
put the entire contents into the square tube. After about 3-4 days, the
maps are flat enough to file. Hope this trick helps.

Hello,
Any hints of the best ways to flatten rolled-up, computer-generated,
census maps? I have hundreds of these maps, some of which I suspect have
been rolled for over ten years. Use an iron? a humidifier? Just
paperweights for a year? Thanks.
