Kansas Sanborn Map

Historical Sanborn Fire Insurance map part of series digitized for the University of Kansas, Spencer Research Library. Using our TTI Camera with Betterlight scan back, we scanned the 19.3” x 23.0” map at 300ppi, which yields a 228Mb, 16 bit RGB TIFF file with tremendous detail.

Use the Zoomify toolbar to navigate through the map and to zoom in for a closer look. The small icon on the right side of the toolbar toggles a full page view.

We have also scanned Sanborn maps at 400ppi, which yields 406Mb TIFF files.

“I worked with Two Cat Digital on an NHPRC funded grant project to digitize an extensive collection of Kansas Sanborn maps over several months during 2010. I was extremely pleased with the superior quality of the 5,336 high quality (Betterlight) scans that we received. All work was completed in two months with no errors, and our materials were received, handled, and returned to us safely, and in a timely manner. This is definitely a company I would work with again.”
