Sanborn Fire Insurance Survey Maps

 

The GHM Archives has five original volumes of Sanborn Fire Insurance Survey Maps, including maps for Greensboro, for the following years: 1902, 1907, 1913, and 1925  (two sets).

"NC LIVE" (an electronic gateway to online database resources, available to citizens of N.C., through an individual's local public library), has made available the Sanborn Fire Insurance Survey Maps in digital format for all of North Carolina, through ProQuest Information and Learning's Digital Sanborn Maps, 1867-1970.

If you are a patron of the Greensboro Public Library system, here is the link to their online page which will give you access to NC LIVE.

If you are a North Carolina resident, outside of Guilford County, you should check your local public library's web site, to explore this link. If you are not certain what the link is to your local public library, you may want to explore the NC ECHO web site, which can link you to your city or county resources.
