[Genealib] 1918 map

[Johnson, Donna]

Try an architectural supply store also.  Many of them do reproductions of large size plans and could do a map, even in color.  If they cannot do the work, they will tell you who can do it.

Try asking a an engineering and surveying company. This type of business should have a machine to copy large sized plats.  The copy may be in black and white only, however.

Try your state library & archives.  they may do their own reproducing but they may be able to guide you to someone. 
You might take a look at these -

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  <mailto:tthompson at braswell-library.org> )  Thanks!!
