[PADG:2295] Re: Blueprint storage

[Shannon Zachary <szachary@xxxxxxxxx>]

Jake, I've just ordered a supply of unbuffered oversize folders from
Conservation Resources (the only source I found that now stocks map-size
folders from unbuffered stock). These are to be used for organizing a
substantial and miscellaneous collection of "blueprints" that are kept as
an open-access study collection.  While I've used Mylar sleeves and/or
barrier sheets to isolate certain prints in other collections, that option
wasn't practical for this material.
