Rice University looking for maps consultant

  • 1.  Rice University looking for maps consultant

    Posted Oct 23, 2023 10:21 AM
    Hi all,
    I'm forwarding the following message from Denis Galvin at Rice University. Please contact him at dgalvin@rice.edu if you are interested or know anyone who might be!
     
    ----------
    I work at Rice University, and we are looking for someone willing to consult on a map project. We have about 2,500 maps we collected 20 years back, and my understanding is they came from Exxon, but I can't confirm that. They are very large and sit in seven storage containers. The librarians who collected them have left Rice, and we do not have the expertise in-house to decide what to do with them (discard, donate, keep).

    Would you know anyone willing to consult on this? This would be paid work.
