After talking to someone about this (Louise Ratliff, maybe?), I realized that the article makes no mention of Historical Information Gatherers who, I believe, did all of the digitization. Curious that this wasn't included in the article...

Apologies if this has already been posted here.



In the September/October issue of the Library of Congress magazine, there was an article about the LC effort to digitize their entire collection of Sanborn Fire Insurance maps. According to the article, by year's end, more than 100,000 maps published before 1900 will be available online. Over the next three years, an additional 400,000 public-domain maps will be added.



Link to the Sept/Oct issue, which includes a bunch of other map-related articles (Sanborn article on p. 20): https://www.loc.gov/lcm/pdf/LCM_2016_0910.pdf
