i have a boaters chart of the space coast from 1971 that was in the closet in the house when i moved in and i would love to display it, but the paper is old and crispy and really wants to stay rolled up

it has a couple tears that it seems eager to let grow larger, it has some holes

but i think that's characters and could be fixed with packing tape along the back

this thing is huge, it's like three feet across and more than that tall

i don't even know if there's enough wall space left anywhere in the house to display it actually

the modern document is chart no 11484, but this is an 8th edition from 1971, under the old catalog number of C&GS 1245

it was bought apparently from "nautical supply co - chart agent, 113 east bay, jax fl" and it cost 1.50 or 1.75 at the time

in reply to @lupi's post:

If you have the table or floor space to do it, I would try unrolling it and completely covering it with (heavy) books, and leaving it like that for a few days.

More aggressively, you could try rolling it around a tube in the opposite direction, but that additional stress seems more likely to damage it?

Both of these feel like obvious things to try..:
