8. Author's note: ProQuest has shown some interest in full-color scans. When we began our Sanborn™ digital project in 2001 ProQuest contracted with us to provide them digital copies of the first 256 maps we scanned. According to Andrea Eastman-Mullins, Product Manager at ProQuest Information and Learning, they are planning to use those scans to gauge interest in a full-color digital collection.
