At the University of Florida Map & Imagery Library we have a set of the
copyright Sanborns for Florida Cities given to us by LC Geography and Map
Division. The public domain maps have been scanned and loaded on a website
funded by the State of Florida for its citizens but available for anyone to
use. The UF Libraries Digital Library Center are responsible for the
scanning. They have produced wonderful images in color and highly detailed.
The same website contains scans of the aerial photography collection of
Florida and our collections of antique maps and non-copyrighted maps of
Florida.
We also have all the original microfilms of Sanborns for Florida, Georgia,
South Carolina, and Washington DC. There is a small printer attached to the
reader and letter size Black & White copies may be made for 25 cents. We
will allow photos to be taken of the originals based on a strict set of
guidelines which includes appointments, staff member in attendance, etc. We
do not allow scanning or photocopies of the paper maps. Everyone
reproducing a post 1923-Sanborns must sign an acknowledgement of the
copyright statement.
The Sanborns may be used by any of our patrons. All of the Sanborns have
been cataloged. The original "bound" books were removed during the scanning
process and not rebound so they could be housed in proper preservation
conditions.
After my address, I have copied the use statement from the Sanborn portion
of the website. The address of the website is:
http://palmm.fcla.edu/collection.html.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. There
will be some articles coming out soon on the UF Sanborn Project.

I'd like to get some feedback from libraries that have Sanborn Maps in
the collection, microfilm and/or hard copy or digital. How do you handle
requests for copies of Sanborns? Do you split them into pre-1923 (public
domain) and post-1923 (copyrighted) and make copies accordingly? Or do
you not make copies at all? Is there a "fair use" provision that would
allow, say, students to make copies for their school projects, as
opposed to a commercial company making copies for a client report?
Sanborn gives a student "discount" for copies but it's still very expensive.
In Philadelphia, the first Sanborn completed was for center city (1916).
By the time they completed the set, the northeast section of the city
was 1928. Does that mean that the 1916-23 copies are fair game but the
1928 (as well as later updates) is out as far as reproductions? Does the
fact that Pro-Quest produced the film under an agreement with pre-EDR
Sanborn have any bearing on this?
Thoughts, opinions, suggestions? Please excuse the cross-posting. Thanks.
