They are renovating the main branch in town, so I called another branch that is the temporary main branch. I was going to go in and get some hard copies of some maps and she told me that during the move they threw away a bunch of microfilm and she believed the Sanborn collection was one of them. She went check and sure enough they are gone! Are you kidding me?! :BangHead:

Is it common for libraries to just throw away microfilm collections? This just doesn't make since to me...

That sucks. I'd love to have them too. I found a site online that sells them for 2 bucks a pop for e-mailable versions. www.oldusmaps.com
