The concluding paragraph to that piece reads:

"Although much work remains to be done before the center is completed, for now around 50,000 of the collection’s maps are available for free online."

That might sound a bit ominous in terms of future online public access, but as I understand things the collection will retain its online presence, including free access to the public.

This summer, Stanford has started preparations to receive the David Rumsey
Map Collection - considered one of the world's largest collections of rare
and antiquarian maps. The collection will arrive in the next year or two and
will be housed in the soon-to-be-built David Rumsey Map Center in Green
Library.
