I had a chance to play with this briefly a few days ago, and I can confirm that they are new scans. However, I'm not sure what resolution they were done at. But I can assure you that they are much improved from the older sets that were available (low res where you could barely make out the text on some pages). Also, I was looking at one of the maps in the set, and it appeared that at least the newer ones utilize the vector source files (I was able to zoom in pretty far while still retaining nice crisp lines). No idea how the older ones were transferred, though. I should have a set within a few weeks to fill in any more details.
