[Genealib] 1918 map

[Traci Thompson]

Our library has a 1918 map of our county that we (and the genealogical
society) would like to have reproduced with the idea to sell the copies as a
fundraiser for the library and society.  The map is approximately 34 by 36
inches.  I have been surprised that, so far, no one I have contacted has
been able to reproduce it.  I've tried all our local printing companies,
plus blueprint-type places like Duncan-Parnell, plus publishers outside of
our area, with no luck.  Everyone says they can't do a map that large, which
stumps me, because I've seen plenty of maps that large for sale through
various vendors.

Another library I worked for had a similar map reproduced for sale (which is
where I got the idea!), but the company they used has gone out of business.

We would like to have it printed on acid-free paper, to be as nice as
possible and "suitable for framing".

I would appreciate any advice anyone might have on who could possibly do
this job for us.  (Replies can come to the list, or to this email addy, or
to tthompson at braswell-library.org)  Thanks!!
