http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/2010/12/15/27226/ Fine Hall basement remains closed after broken pipe causes flooding, disrupted classes "A sprinkler pipe burst in the basement of Fine Hall early Tuesday morning, spilling water across the basements of four buildings, disrupting classes and soaking library books and maps ... "The geoscience and map library collection on the B-floor of Fine Hall was also flooded, and some books and maps got wet. The map collection "is one of the largest cartographic collections at an academic institution" and contains 300,000 maps and charts, according to the library's website. Books and other library materials that were damaged were moved to a refrigerated truck overnight to ensure the safety of the materials." Others will know better than I whether the damage might have affected non-current maps as well. Tony Campbell [email protected]
