----- Forwarded Message ----- From: "Rusty Brown" <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Friday, August 1, 2008 12:28:24 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [Fwd: [Milrefdesk] fairchild NY-verticals] Regarding vertical coverage flown by the New York office of Fairchild Aerial Surveys, we now hold this coverage and its copyright. Vertical flights from the New York office were transferred to the California office of FAS in 1958. However, most negatives to jobs prior to 1945 were destroyed rather than transferred due to deterioration of the original nitrate based film. What little survives of the flights earlier than 1945 is mostly in paper print format. This collection changed hands a few times as a number of California based firms gobbled each other up & ended up at California State University Northridge. We acquired this collection from Cal State Northridge in 1986. The oblique portion of New York office flights ended up at the New Jersey State Archives and has since been distributed to the State Archives of the states of coverage. For access to this and the rest of our collections, please see our web site at www.sdc.ucsb.edu. We hope this helps.
