Last year our Special Projects Unit created cataloging records for our digital images of pre-1923 Kentucky Sanborn maps.  See OCLC record no. 233987082 or

http://infokat.uky.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=1&ti=,1&CNT=5&HC=1&RelBibID=2865063&SEQ=20090220101228&PID=06hdcN4kVooxAY5fGL6hkwwvRgXmYKm0V

The records include links to the paper maps.

Hi,

Are any map librarians linking to their own map image database from a
Voyager catalog or from WorldCat Local? We do this for the David
Rumsey maps, but I wonder if anyone is linking from a map record in
their OPAC to the specific individual image in their own database of
map images.

Any information would be great. And in fact linking strategies from
any of the standard OPACs would be interesting.

Bob
