Dear all, Many thanks for all the replies about inner storage rolls for maps. There were quite a few suggestions so I thought a summary would be helpful: - 3" diameter seems to be the preferred size. Most people buy long and cut to the required size. - the main manufacturer seems to be Preservation Equipment, and Conservation by Design. Quite a few people are using these, but they are very expensive. - one person had used Pelaw Packaging and a number recommend Klug - apparently it is still cheaper to buy from them although they are outside the UK. - a few DIY suggestions: non archival ones can be wrapped in a tin foil barrier and then in archival paper. Some people suggested a roll of heavy weight melinex. I did wonder if you could use a roll of thick plastazote? - one person said their ideal would be plastazote rolls in a range of diameters that could be cut to size. If anyone knows if these exist please let us know!
