The Resources for the Accidental Map Librarian Workshops Wiki

We want you to be involved in Building Colorado Story by Story: the Sanborn Fire Insurance Map Collection. We have developed a wiki based on some of the material presented in the Accidental Map Librarian workshops, which hosts links and resources on: an introduction to maps, map cataloging, map vendors, online map resources, and tips and lessons for using Sanborn maps in your library or classroom.

A wiki is a website that is developed collaboratively. Users (you) can add, change, or delete content on the website. We hope you use and contribute to the Accidental Map Librarian wiki. We will be posting plans for using Sanborn fire insurance maps developed during the workshops to the wiki in the coming months. Please add your own!
