I have a question regarding the sanborns that the library of congress sends after asking a librarian. Are the maps sent by e-mail in color or black & white? I have the black and white version of the cities I want but would like to have the color ones too.

 

[carobran]

ya gotta pay $50 for color maps[][],at least thats what the email said[8|][8|]

Yeah unfortunately only b+w. But still really COOL that you can get maps in this fashion for free right? I'm glad other people know about this, its a nice service. ---Joe
