Here's an idea. I presume the main problem
with scanning them is their
size (ie they won't fit on an ordinary scanner). Why not just scan them

designed to turn a collection of photos into a panorama) to turn the
scanned sections into a single image?
Posible in theory but requires a lot of scans per map which increases
the required time a lot.
Unless someone has access to a mega-size scanner that takes a whole
sheet at once. Such beasts are already used by companies who reproduce
building construction plans.
