When I’m on trip I just bring whatever map I need. Unless it’s out of print, which is rare, I just bring the original and if it gets wrecked I replace it.

What I was asking about is storage and organization at home. I’m wondering if anyone has come up with a better solution than just shoving them all into a pile on a shelf.

No sorry I didn’t mean to overlook yours but I see that as more of a method of preserving the maps. Which is of course valuable but it still just leaves them stuffed on a shelf or
Rolled up in a corner.  I was wondering if anyone had an idea for organizing them. As I’m writing this I’m thinking a simple accordion file may be the way to go.

Alphabetical?  By geography?  By physical folded size?

 
Yes, yes and yes.

Any of those would be good ways to store them. Interested in a way to store them in any of those methods using some kind of folder, organizer box or.....?

I get the impression it’s mostly just stick them all together on a shelf, or rolled up like Swede said but I’m wondering if there is a better way. Hoping someone on here has an alternate way they organize theirs.
