Are flat-file cabinets used in academic libraries?

Academic libraries and special collections departments use flat-file cabinets (often called map cases or plan chests) to store maps, atlases, large photographic prints, historical newspapers, and oversized archival documents. Academic library flat files may have additional archival features like acid-free drawer liners. The standard commercial flat-file cabinet works well in library applications with appropriate archival materials inside. OfficeFurniture2go.com — call 1-800-460-0858.
