At the library and archives of the Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista, California, http://www.wrm.org/ they have special "humidifiers" that they use to "de-roll" those large plat maps and engineering drawing from the early days of the railroads. Perhaps someone can steer you to something like that in your neighborhood.
