A Rich Archive Historical Imagery dating back to 1928

During recent conversations, Dr Martin Wood, Curator of Maps at the National Library of Australia has highlighted the existence of a rich archive of historical imagery dating back 70 years to 1928 covering parts of Australia, New Guinea and Antarctica.

Much of this imagery has been used produce historical mapping.

It is currently in hardcopy formats.

A report describing the holdings may be found [| here].


Potential for rich digital data sets to support spatial analysis

This data is invaluable for current and future spatial analysis that requires a multi-temporal understanding of our environment.

Ideally, the data would need to be:

  • scanned at an appropriate high resolution; and
  • orthorectified
