Using Interlibrary Loan (ILL) to obtain paper copies of Sanborn microfiche

  1. Direct any requests for borrowing or copying to the University of Iowa Libraries’ ILL, not to the Map Collection.
  2. Local library’s ILL department requests a copy from the Sanborn microfiche set held in the Map Collection. Request should include: name of town, date of microfiche, and specific page needed (if known).
  3. The UI Libraries’ ILL Department makes paper copies of the requested information, and the copies are sent to the local library to be retained by the patron.

For more information on the procedure and cost of obtaining Sanborn information via interlibrary loan, e-mail the Interlibrary Loan Department at the University of Iowa Libraries at lib-ill@uiowa.edu or send FAX to 319-335-5830.
