The libraries where I've seen them have always required me to get a
library card ($$$ for out of towners) to gain access to their ProQuest
Sanborn account, or maybe you can access for free at the actual
library. I've never seen one with more than 2 or 3 states.
Let me know if you find one that has access to the entire US and free
accounts for general public. I doubt it exists. I get the feeling that
ProQuest is pretty strict with their licensing requirements.
The only other source I know of is direct from EDR. But they charge per
location and are not cheap.

Dear Maps-L:
Does anyone know of a library anywhere that subscribes to all of the
"Digital Sanborn Maps" collection from ProQuest?
We just get North Carolina, and I suspect that most places get only
their own state and maybe some adjacent states, which was generally the
collection policy when these were purchased on film.
Also, if there is a library with complete access, does the licensing
policy of ProQuest (and/or the policy of the library) allow any
unaffiliated person from off the street (e.g,. an out-of-town visitor)
to visit the library and use this collection.
Finally, does anyone know of a library that has the compete set of
film? I believe LC does (in addition to the original paper copies), but
curious if there are other places.
thanks,
Mark
