I have been listening with interest to recent advice about flattening
rolled maps.
My problem is a rolled atlas - Atlas of Egypt : a series of maps and
diagrams with descriptive text illustrating the orography, geology,
meteorology and economic conditions
Presented to the International Geographical Congress at
Cambridge 1928, by command of his Majesty King Fouad I
Survey of Egypt Giza MCMXXVIII
This atlas seems to have been rolled from its creation. It consists
of about 40 sheets, which are wider than they are long. Everything
is attached to a stiff dark red cover.
I try not to touch it at all. It tears so easily. This morning I checked
the details on the title page. I wish I could see more of the pages
inside.
A little more information is available on our new Webcat at:

A Happy New Year to everybody!
