Dear colleagues

I have a 1967 school type map of Greece that needs protection from fingers.
The velvet rope is far from perfect!

I have tried to get a piece of glass or plexiglass but apparently neither
comes in the right size which is 70" x 70". At least not from Island
Plastics.  I would mount it in front of the map where it hangs on the wall
so air can circulate.

Another suggestion was to copy/photograph and store the original but the
real value of the map is in the person of the previous owner- the map in
itself is not particularly valuable and a copy just won't work.

A recommendation is to use acetate over Mylar as supplied by
"grafixplastics" which is only available wholesale. Michaels apparently
carries it and I will go have a chat with them.

Any other suggestions or referals gratefully received

Wendy
