Sanborn Insurance Maps Online
Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, 1867-1999, is a collection which includes maps of over twelve thousand American cities and towns. Sanborn Maps were originally created to evaluate the degree of risk associated with commercial, industrial, and residential structures. Today, Sanborn Maps are often consulted by researchers interested in characteristics of buildings and how neighborhoods changed over time.
The New York State Library’s subscription database, Digital Sanborn Maps, includes maps specifically for New York State cities and villages for the dates, 1867-1970. Stephanie Barrett and Jane Bentley Turo will demonstrate how to navigate this database, as well as share additional resources attendees can use for historical and genealogical research.
