  • 1.  Encapsulation services

    Posted Sep 13, 2022 02:25 PM
    Good afternoon,
    I realize not everyone encapsulates their maps, though Denver Public Library does and it provides no small amount of protection and preservation, despite the time and cost. At scale though it can also be a bottleneck.
    Has anyone here used an encapsulation service and would be willing to share their experiences? What works, what doesn't, all of that. Online or off, either way.
    Thanks in advance,
    Craig Haggit
