Greetings from the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS),

 

This email serves two purposes.  The first is to share with you a new tool that ASPRS is providing as a free service to the communities that utilize aerial photography.  The tool is called the ASPRS Aerial Data Catalog and is a means to locate aerial photography from private companies, universities, states, NGOs, and federal sources.  The catalog contains metadata allowing users to determine if coverage exists over an area of interest.  The acquisition date, film type, sensor type, and scale are also provided along with the supplier contact information.

 

The second reason for this email is to seek your contributions to the catalog.  This tool can serve as an additional marketing source, or possibly the only means, you may have to advertise your holdings.  Again, the service is free and to contribute simply fill in what is known about your collections in the attached spreadsheet.

 

This tool has been needed to shine light on the millions of frames of aerial photography that are essentially unknown.  The URL for the ASPRS Aerial Data Catalog is http://dpac.asprs.org.

 

Lastly, please forward this email to any parties that may be interested in this free service.

Best,
