The Clinton Historical Society in Clinton, NY has a small map collection and desires tips and suggestions on how to display them properly. Some are rolled, some are folded, some are small, and some are large, some are in good shape while others are brittle.

The Saratoga project sounds great; we'd appreciate any suggestions so we can show our maps to our public.

SARATOGA SPRINGS >> A few local people decided they wanted to create an inventory of maps of the Spa City, but over the course of collecting them, an idea was born.  
  
A two-year combination of efforts by the city assessor’s office, the Saratoga Springs Public Library, the city historian the county historian, the history museum and Skidmore College built the exhibit opening this week at the Saratoga Springs History Museum.
