The earliest Sanborn holding in the Library’s collection is a map of Boston, actually an atlas, published in 1867. But the bulk of the collection dates from 1883, when Sanborn began to register maps for copyright protection regularly, depositing the required copies with the Library.

The Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps Online Checklist provides a searchable database of the fire insurance maps published by the Sanborn Map Company housed in the collections of the Geography and Map Division. The online checklist is based upon the Library's 1981 publication Fire Insurance Maps in the Library of Congress and will be continually updated to reflect new acquisitions. The online checklist also contains links to existing digital images from our collection and will be updated as new images are added...
