History of Object: CD containing scans in .pdf format of the Insurance Maps published by Sanborn Perris Map Co., for the City of Alameda for 1897 (p. 1-90 + index and key), and for Bay Farm Island of 1924 (p 1-2), donated by Kevin Frederick to George Gunn and the Alameda Museum to help in future research on June 5, 2004.
Note: It is not documented how or why Kevin acquired the scans, but there is no explicit permission from the copyright holder included.
It appears at this time the maps renewed in 1948 and 1957 are under copyright protection, thus, they are excluded from the collection. As time goes on, these maps will eventually become public domain (2043 for the 1948 maps).
Note: the Alameda Museum does not at this time own a publicly available CD-reader. Additionally requires software capable of opening .pdf files (currently Adobe).
