MORE ABOUT SHIPPING [+]

We collected tips for prospective map collectors and give advise how to store your maps. Museums keep their storage areas at an optimum temperature of around 70 degrees F and a relative humidity of 50%. If conditions cannot be kept to this ideal (and historic houses, for example, often are not air-conditioned), avoiding extremes, such as the very high heat in an attic, and avoiding major fluctuations.
