Re: Sanborn Maps



One of our map specialists says she thinks there is no general online
archive, that the American Memory dropped that project.  The only way
Sanborn Maps are available digitally is as a subscription.  Our library has
the Arizona Sanborn Maps through Proquest.  We bought the files a few months
ago. Online access to these is thus limited to the terms of our
license...basically U of Arizona students, faculty, etc.
