Thanks, Julie, for the update. There are so many more 'cities' in CA!
I did not subscribe to the online Sanborns for CA [just NV] because of
the cost so it will be good to have them available.
We hope to begin scanning soon, but the `presentation' is my `spring
project.'

Hi Linda,
We are slowly (glacially) moving towards getting the LoC scans done.
This
will ONLY be California Sanborns, pre-1923. We are probably going to
start
with a pilot project of a few cities to work out all the kinks before
wholesale scanning of the state begins. If all goes well, with fingers
crossed, we hope we'll start scanning in the spring. It depends how
long
it takes to come to an agreement on a contract.
So, please, scan away!
Julie
