Dear Kay,

At the University of Pittsburgh, we have mounted G M Hopkins maps, which are not the same as Sanborn Maps, but they contain quite a bit of detail.  First, check out Historic Pittsburgh at:

Hope this helps

Greetings
I am interested in acquiring the digital Sanborn maps for our collection.
I have visited with Chadwyck Healy and received a sample disk from them.
It appears that the data is pretty raw and that we would need to do quite
a bit of modifying/customizing to make it useful to library patrons. I am
nervous about investing in something that may be problematic down the
road.

Have any of you attempted to mount the digital Sanborns? Are you having
problems or is it a decent product?

Please respond to the list--I'm sure others will be interested in this
product also.

Thanks!
