I'm curious. Is there anyone in the list group that recommends I use
the actual map?

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] Framing an historic map
Kinkos and other copy services centers have use a roller-feeding method
to scan or copy oversized documents. This method is potentially
disastrous considering the map could get jammed in the roller. I use a
local graphics design firm that has a very large flat-bed scanner to
reproduce historic, over-sized maps. Once they set the scan the
printing price is very reasonable, and then you will also have it on cd
or DVD. You will also be able to zoom on the image electronically.
You might try calling around to graphics and sign companies to find the
largest possible flat-bed. They can also scan it in pieces, then stitch
the image together and print out on a plotter as one image.

I wonder if Kinkos could handle this size? It is approximately 5 feet
by 5 feet -- very large. I will definitely contact the two vendors you
recommend, too. Thanks for the advice.

Depending on where you're going to display it, I would suggest having a
good color copy made and display that instead. You could probably get a
copy from a quality copy service such as Kinkos or a local group. We
had a garden map that was display in an inappropriate frame for too
long, and now it is in danger of falling apart completely. We cannot
even handle it because it is so brittle. A copy would negate this risk.
Light Impressions (www.lightimpressionsdirect.com) has some good quality
materials for framing although, with a artifact of that size, you're
probably looking at custom work which can get a little pricey.
Conservation Resources does framing as well. Hope that helps.

Our museum owns a large map that was given to Howard Hughes by Kathryn
Hepburn [approx. 5'x5'] We'd like to either frame this piece or put it
between glass. Can anyone suggest materials to use or ways of
displaying it?
