Visiting Our Office

In many cases, clients may obtain the desired information while visiting Maps and Records. A variety of campus maps (Quad/Base map, zone map) are pre-plotted and available at the front counter. Reproductions of our archive documents can usually be made at the time of request. Our Client/Office Service Coordinator is available to assist with document research, copying options and requests for information. Our Coordinator also provides reprographics services and routes standard product requests to our in-house staff or management for scheduling.

All visitors to Maps and Records are required to speak with our Client and Office Service Representative and sign in prior to beginning archive research.

Has your Data Expired?

Our electronic data is constantly changing based upon new construction and regular feedback from Utilities division contacts, new surveys, and client feedback.

Maps and Records always recommends to project managers and their contractors that they acquire a new set of electronic “current condition” information for each project. We also recommend that older, historical linen maps be obtained.

Please contact our Client/Office Service Coordinator, stop by, or fax in our Data Request Form (PDF) and Area Map, or use http://campus-map.stanford.edu to define the needed area.

We can provide information on CD or through our secure FTP site.
