Update: Sanborn Maps North Carolina
Sanborn Maps access for NC LIVE will continue through ProQuest through the product: Digital Sanborn Maps, 1867-1970. Last week we sent an email stating that NC LIVE would no longer have access to Sanborn Maps North Carolina since ProQuest's Sanborn Maps Geo Edition is being discontinued as of June 30, 2020. This is partially correct. NC LIVE will no longer have access to Sanborn Maps Geo Edition, but we will continue our access through Digital Sanborn Maps, 1867-1970. Read about the differences between the two products below.
