Hi Dan,

Thanks for responding.  You are right that in 1967 the Census Bureau transferred to LC a set of Sanborns.  However, a decade later the Geog. Operations Br. of the Bureau in Jeffersonville, IN sent a detailed listing of its holdings to WAML for inclusion in the Union List of Sanborn maps.

Hope you are doing well.

I also thought that it was probably just someone being confused with
places and time--mixing up LC with the National Archives and 10 years
with 30 or 40. Always a problem with second hand information.

I have a vague recollection that the Sanborn Maps from Census in
Jeffersonville, Indiana may have gone to the Library of Congress
Geography and Map Division.

Can anyone confirm the following information?

A correspondent reports that staff at the US Census Bureau in
Jeffersonville, Indiana told him their large collection (>500,000
sheets) of Sanborn Map Company fire insurance maps was transferred about
ten years ago to the National Archives.  The Archives reports no
knowledge of them.

Could this massive transfer have occurred without mention on MAPS-L or
MapHist?
