FIMo: Fire Insurance Maps Online : My Project Folder

Instructional guide on how to use FIMo, a collection of high resolution, full-color fire insurance maps in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

My Project Folder

A useful tool to organize map sheets during your research is the “My Project Folder” feature, which allows you to organize and view sheets from different publications together.

To add a sheet to My Project Folder, simply check the box in the upper right-hand corner of the thumbnail of the sheet. This will automatically add it to your folder. Keep in mind that sheets will only remain in the My Project Folder during your current research session.

To see all your selected sheets, select the radio button next to My Project Folder.

Displaying Map Sheets Side-by-Side

It may also be helpful to look at map sheets side-by-side.

1. Use the Open in New Window button in the upper right side to open each sheet in a new window one at a time. 

2. Arrange the separate windows on your screen to compare them side by side. Note that the use of 320 Newbury Street changed in 1951.
