Erica,
While the advice you have already been given is great, before you decide
to do anything you need to plan how you will store these objects flat.
The largest panoramic photographs are 14 or 16 inches by 10 or 12 feet.
These are fairly uncommon, but prints 6 or 8 feet long are not. Storing
such objects flat can be a real problem. If you do forge ahead yourself,
you need to be careful after the relaxing part that you use the least
weight necessary and that you protect the print (particularly the
emulsion, which will now be soft). In the old days we used photo blotting
paper between the print and the weight, but I haven't seen any for years
and it may have gone the way of dry plates and albumen paper. Good luck.
