Architectural Drawing Truck?
I'm posting this for someone NOT on the listserv. Please send
responses to his email address: lfredericksen@ukans.edu
Thanks!
My question is:
Our collection contains a large number of oversize maps and
architectural drawings that are difficult to handle without damaging
the items and we would like to acquire a truck that could carry them
safely through doors, on elevators, etc. One of our staff members saw
trucks at the National Archives which had barrel-shaped top shelves so
they could transport large items as long as they could be partially
rolled. I'd like to know if any institution is aware of anywhere such
trucks are available for purchase.
I'd also be interested in receiving specifications for any oversize
type of truck that may have been custom-made for your institution.
I'd also like to know what other solutions archives have come up with
for handling these materials safely. I appreciate any assistance you
can give us.
Sincerely,
Lin Fredericksen
