    Try rolling them in a tube first to get the creases out. Use lead fishing sinkers to weigh down the corners so they lay flat.

    Also, if you have a tripod, put it on a table and put the maps under the table to get a square shot at them.

    And send me the originals, I'll take good care of them. [​IMG]

    yeah,they all are. Most of them are stamped published by war office. They have routes and things marked out on them you can barely see them in the pictures though.

    I use the tubes that go in golf bags for some maps. The inert plastic is better for them than cardboard tubes. The cardboard may have a high acid content and/or dyes.

    First one completed here:

    http://ibiblio.org/pha/PTO/0002.jpg

    These are ~33 meg jpegs and there will be 58 of them when done. I think you can figure out the URLs for the remainder. (PM if not.)

    0001.jpg is uploading now. 0014.jpg is the last one available at this point, the process proceeds.
