  • 27 Microfiche_Sanborn Insurance Maps: City of  Sumter, Fire Insurance Maps of the City of Sumter 1889-1962 (MFIC SANBORN 1-27). Found in Society collection, but not previously accessioned. Fire insurance maps are detailed city plans, usually at scales of 50 or 100 feet to an inch. They show individual building "footprints," complete with construction details such as building material (brick, adobe, frame, etc.), height (of larger buildings), number of stories, location of doors, windows, chimneys and elevators, use of structure (dwelling, hotel, church, etc.), street address, and occasionally the ethnicity of the occupants.  Other features shown include lot lines, street widths, water pipes, hydrants and cisterns, and fire-fighting facilities. The maps were originally produced for insurance underwriters who used them \ to determine risks and establish premiums. Today these maps are used by scholars and researchers in such fields as history, urban geography, architectural history and preservation, ethnic studies, and urban archaeology. Relatively few insurance maps made before 1884, when copyright deposit in the Library of Congress was required,  survive.  Sanborn maps are produced today, primarily for major cities and by contract for smaller ones. 
    NOTE: Most updated versions of Sanborn (and other fire insurance) maps are original editions with pasted-on correction slips. In such cases, the date of the information is usually a penciled date contained in a "corrections box" at the beginning of the set or volume, rather than the date appearing on the title sheet.
