<div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><span><div></div><span><div>Dear colleagues</div><div><br></div><div>I have a 1967 school type map of Greece that needs protection from fingers. The velvet rope is far from perfect!</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br clear="all"></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Any other suggestions or referals gratefully received</div><div><br></div><div>Wendy<br>-- <br></div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Wendy Smylitopoulos</div><div>Curator</div><div>Greek Heritage Project Museum</div><div>Victoria & Vancouver Greek Community Society</div><div>250 419-3151</div></div></div>
