Historical Imagery Index

The Historical Imagery Index is a referenced footprint dateset created from digitised Key Diagrams for\u00a0Aerial Imagery pre ADS product\u00a0 captured across NSW.\u00a0

This Index supports the Historical Imagery Viewer and allows the search discovery and download of\u00a0Spatial Services huge repository of digitised Historical Aerial Photography.\u00a0

This index is periodically updated as new photo centers are digitised from the HAP collections Key Diagrams\u00a0

HAP (Historical Aerial Photography)

The collection has been acquired over a number of years from 1930 through to 2005. The imagery was\u00a0originally\u00a0captured using a variety of cameras including the Wild RC-5, RC-10 and Leica RC-30 cameras with a variety of lenses with focal lengths of 88mm, 153mm and 304mm.\u00a0 Images were captured in monochrome\u00a0or\u00a0colour during this period\u00a0at a range of\u00a0scales ranging from 1:10 000 to 1:80 000.\u00a0

Images have been digitised from either the aerial film negatives or hard copy prints up 2000dpi resolution depending on the scanned medium.

These are standard 600dpi unprocessed frames as JPG\u2019s

The HAP collection has been digitised from either the aerial film negatives or hard copy prints up 2000dpi resolution depending on the scanned medium.

Current state: This collection exists as un-projected aerial imagery files.
