What to do with historic maps

Posted By Samuel Holden, 31 August 2022
Hi everyone, I've recently started working at my current library and I've been cataloguing our historic map collection. We have all sorts of historic maps for the local area including large original 19th century OS maps amongst many others. I'd love to showcase these somehow but our wall space is minimal. Has anyone ran any events with a map collection or displayed them and made them accessible in other ways? It seems a shame to have them hidden away in cabinets and only getting them out if someone request a specific map which happens rarely! Kind regards, Samuel
