Maps

Hawaiʻi

We aspire to provide comprehensive coverage of Hawaiʻi. In addition to contemporary maps, we have a large collection of historical maps. Nevertheless, it is impossible for one organization to have all the maps, therefore, it is customary to rely on many agencies and collections in Hawaiʻi and beyond. If you do not find what you need in our digital and map collections, consult the links we provide to other collections. If you have questions about our holdings, please contact MAGIS staff.

Fire Insurance Maps

We have different versions of these important historical maps which show building and street information for towns and cities at a large scale. The Hawaiʻi State Archives may have some maps that we do not. Consult the Union List of Sanborn & Other Fire Insurance Maps, Hawaiʻi (by Riley Moffat, revised by Philip Hoehn) for an inventory and indications where various Hawaiʻi sets may be held. The Library of Congress has one of the largest collections of Sanborn Maps with detailed explanation of the history and use of the maps. Several other sources provide useful information for reading and interpreting Sanborn maps:

• Sanborn Map Key (UC Berkeley): Sanborn Map Key to colors and symbols
• Sanborn map abbreviations (MIT): Sanborn abbreviations and descriptions
• Sanborn map abbreviations (UC Berkeley): Glossary of Sanborn Map abbreviations
• Description and utilization of the Sanborn map (Sanborn Map Company book, Penn State): Gives detailed descriptions of sample buildings. Useful to understanding the key.

Global Fishing Watch was launched in Washington, DC, in September, 2016 and is now freely available to everyone with an internet connection.
