These vintage geological maps are great for collectors, students, or anyone interested in geology and history. Here's how to use, take care of, and handle them:
**Using the Maps**: You can use these maps for educational purposes, like studying geology or history. You can also display them in your home or office as a unique piece of decor. When using them, make sure to handle them gently to avoid further damage.
**Storing the Maps**: Store the maps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can roll them up and store them in a tube or fold them carefully and place them in a flat container. This will help prevent any additional tearing or soiling.
**Handling the Maps**: Always wash your hands before handling the maps to avoid transferring dirt or oils. When folding or unfolding the maps, do it slowly and carefully to prevent tearing. If there's any writing on the maps, try not to rub it as it might smudge.
These maps are old and have some minor damage, so handle them with care to keep them in the best possible condition for as long as you own them.
