Sanborn Maps
I am doing research into some historic buildings and I am looking for access to historic Sanborn maps. Does anyone know an efficient and cheap (free?) way to do this.

Pratt Library has them. It is on Brooklyn Campus.
You can call them to find out if they will let you in with the photo ID, they used to do it. They have historic Sanborn and new as well.

In addition to the BPL Central Library's Brooklyn Collection's Digital Sanborn maps (which has limited hours - check their website first!) the Business Library on Cadman Plaza also has the paper versions updated regularly.
