Dear Beth,

You might contact Carme Montaner (e-mail: [log in to unmask]) at the Institut Cartografic de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain), who is responsible for the aerial photocollection. She has created a visual retrieval system in ArcView, in which one can search among others, on flight lines, properties, names, etc.

With kind regards,

Jan Smits

We have been given a gift of historic air photos of Colorado dating from the
1930's to the 70's. There are various sets of photos from various projects,
such as SCS and Forest Service projects. We have a student worker taking
over the monumental task of inventorying, arranging, and indexing this gift
collection. We have a few random indexes that over some of these sets. What
we propose to do is set up a project  ArcView where we can "inventory" each
photos according to county and project (amongst many other fields). Then we
can print graphically and lists of the photos as well as do queries in
ArcView to meet specific needs. Comments? Has anyone done something of this
sort?

What we cannot determine is whether we should physically arrange the photos
(in file cabinets now) by project code or by Colorado county. I feel most
patrons
would want to look via county (or specific area) rather than a project
number or code. Would
this be ok, or is there some set standard where we should leave the photos
filed by project? How do other people have their air photos arranged and
indexed?

Also, what data fields should be included in a database of air-photos?

Any comments on this issue would be greatly appreciate since I am a novice
with this idea.

Thanks!
Beth
