When a bound volume of #1920s newspapers got wet, we froze it to prevent mould developing until we had the time and space to dry it out properly. As the wet pages felt slightly tacky we had to interleave them with dry sheets, so they wouldn’t all stick together in the freezer. #EYAConservation

Happy Black History Month! My favorite part of cartography is exploring new places and ways of seeing through maps and one of my new favorites is the Radical Atlas of Ferguson, USA by Patty Heyda. It's a detailed infographic biography of a city. It's one of the best cases for geography I've seen.
