Certified Sanborn® Map ReportEDR’s Sanborn® Map service provides fire insurance map search results based on a search of the complete holdings of the original Sanborn Library. This essential Phase I historical information source includes nearly 1.3 million Sanborn Maps and tracks the changing landscape and property uses of approximately 12,000 American cities and towns since the late 19th century.
Since its acquisition of the Sanborn Map Company's collection in 1996, EDR has revolutionized the fire insurance map research process. The entire Sanborn collection has been digitized and can be searched from your desktop through EDR's Web site. We have also rescanned every map to create high-resolution images, so that you can see more detail than ever before. EDR's Sanborn Search Engine is the only system that searches the Sanborn Library collection using latitude and longitude and provides instant, site-specific search results. In a major new enhancement for 2009, EDR has digitally joined together the more than one million fire insurance maps from the Sanborn Library collection. The result is that your Sanborn search results can be produced and displayed based on the location of your target property. This will enable you to significantly reduce the time and effort associated with historical property due diligence. You will find your property in the center of the map, with much greater ease of reference to adjoining properties. Additionally, we've added thousands of new maps from 40 cities, covering the years 1994 to 2007. Read more about the latest enhancements to EDR's Sanborn Map service. All the other features of EDR’s Sanborn Map service remain in place. Search by latitude/longitude; order and receive maps online; review instant map coverage results; use our Same-Day Sanborns! service to get your Sanborn Maps within one business day; and receive a unique Sanborn certification number that can be used to validate your search. The Sanborn certification number is included in every Certified Sanborn Report. This certification assures you and your customers that you have conducted a search of the Sanborn Library, the largest and most comprehensive collection of Sanborn Maps, and that you are licensed to reproduce the map images in your report. (Sanborn Maps obtained from EDR authorized resellers will receive the same certification benefits.)
