The Earth Data Analysis Center here at the University of New Mexico has contracted with a number of companies that provide aerial photography services, including helping to coordinate an effort to collect a full set of aerial imagery over the entire state of New Mexico (multiple times).

I’ve CC’d Shirley Baros - the EDAC Director, Laura Gleasner - EDAC’s clearinghouse manager, and Mike Inglis - EDAC’s former Associate Director on this so that they can hopefully chime in with the vendors that they are familiar with in this arena.

A google search brings up several companies working in this area (Sanborn; Precision Aerial; Apollo Mapping; ElecData; Eagle View/Pictometry, etc.) but I'm curious if any have established licensing arrangements with academic institutions.  Several sell by the image or can be contracted to collect aerial imagery.  Are there companies which license access to their digital imagery archive and allow integration into GIS for analysis, and/or image download?
