Topic:  Map Preservation and Conservation

Speakers:

    Princeton University Library

    Ted Stanley
    Special Collections Paper Conservator
    Princeton University Library

John Delaney will begin with an overview of Princeton's map
collection, including some items that are on exhibit and that needed
treatment by Ted Stanley.  He will show the basic housings that are
used for different types of maps and cover the digitization and
cataloging of the maps that has greatly diminished the need for
handling of originals, for example, the extensive collection of
Sanborn Maps of New Jersey that is now available on Princeton's
website.

Ted Stanley will speak about the conservation of paper-based maps,
including information about how maps degrade, how to preserve and
care for them, and how to exhibit them properly.

Please RSVP to Shelagh Reilly <sreilly<-a t->co< . >monmouth< . >nj< . >us> to help us
plan for refreshments.
