The Sanborn maps are invaluable. They were done for fire insurance purposes, I think. The staff and volunteers are very helpful and it's amazing who you meet down there. My only regret is that they weren't open all week. It was hard to wait for the next opening days.Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-50888356783603061132015-07-25T16:27:45.515-07:002015-07-25T16:27:45.515-07:00William, I promise I appreciate archivists enough ...William, I promise I appreciate archivists enough to make up for those who don't.<br /><br />Thank you, Betty.

It's the first pace of a huge book (almost a meter square) of maps of city streets and buildings called the Sanborn Maps. Isn't it great? They used every font and swirl and flourish imaginable.
