The latest confirmed development in the open map reading room is that the steward attaches the original field record and the last method note. The update comes from the public map room at North Canopy House; the existing arrangement remains in force until the board closes this window.
Sylva Reed, map room reader, confirmed 71 requests fulfilled before a map copy is moved to storage in the file. The previous window recorded 76; the totals do not settle how the room balances public access with the time needed to protect a fragile copy.
The unresolved point is specific: Readers request longer open hours. Conservators say unsupervised viewing increases handling risk. No final outcome has been posted before the scheduled decision.
Residents and staff continue under the current schedule while the review is open.
NEXT UPDATE: The Year first, seedfall window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The archive will compare staffed hours with requests that could not be completed. A fresh window will use a new date and source record.
