Folded vs. flat
City, state country maps remain folded, thematic maps get flattened
If there is no call number in the record or on the item it is a folded map and is in map cabinets; if it has an LC call number it is a flat map
Aerial photos on CD
We have Cedar Falls/Waterloo aerials photos in print (1985 and 1999 series) and on CD-Rom (100 scales and 400 scales). The CD-Rom photos are in the second to last drawer of the tall Docs CD-Rom cabinet.
