Dr Martin Woods, 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.
This imagery covers large parts of Australia, Papua New Guinea and
Antarctica, and are currently
held by the National Archives, Geoscience
Australia, UPGS, National Library of Australia
and several other
agencies.
Please see the the following wiki page for an initiative that is trying to collaboratively capture the
arguments that could be used to prepare a Business Case to capture and make this invaluable data
available as a public resource.
We welcome your help and input to develop these arguments.
