How to download old MrSID Files without Express View plugin

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Darren in Chico on August 3, 2021

The University of Alabama hosts some historic maps in MrSID format, which require the LizardTech Express View plugin to download. This plugin is no longer available.

I have asked Extensis how I can view or download these files and was told the format these file are in is "too old" and there is nothing currently available.

I have emailed UA tech support but have not heard back.

Does anyone have a suggestion?
