Hello Mark,

Temple University Libraries in Philadelphia subscribes to
Digital Sanborn Maps for the entire United States.

The policy of the library permits anyone to use any database
to which the library subscribes. Visitors must show an ID at
the main service desk after which they are logged on to a
terminal by a librarian with access to all databases.

The library does not have a complete set of the film.
