Our short-term expected impact that the map is in a stable condition in an acid-free environment was achieved. The map and associated letter have been treated and are enclosed in archival sleeves stored in a flat storage cabinet.
Our intermediate-term expected impact that the map is cleaned and mended so that it can be scanned in-house was also achieved. The map has been placed in our queue of items to digitize, and it can be done so safely.
