----------------------------Original message---------------------------- WE have a 1895 atlas, that is 'falling apart' .. can anyone advise on the best 'preservation' system without high cost. The owner is prepared to lend it to the University long-term if it will get a suitable location. It may be suffering from its current location in a wood-heated house. Can one hold the pages together without imposing an 'alien' binding system ? Roger Wheate UNBC, Prince George
