Aerial Surveys has an extensive photographic library that contains images dating back to the 1950s. Prior to 2007 Aerial Surveys also owned the renowned Whites Aviation photographic library which has now been taken over by the Alexander Turnbull Library in Wellington. Aerial Surveys has extensive knowledge of the contents of this library and can assist in tracing historical photography dating back to pre 1900′s.
In recent years the historical regional photography has become increasingly important for both carbon accounting as well as environmental management. The imagery is used for a wide range of purposes including mapping land use change, urban spread, coastal and foreshore erosion monitoring, polution mapping and environmental monitoring.
Our library exceeds 1 million negatives/images captured on film based cameras and incorporates not only aerial photography covering most of New Zealand including both urban and rural imagery of various resolutions. In addition we have a significant digital image library for all imagery captured with our Vexcel digital mapping camera commissioned in 2009. This imagery includes options for Near Infrared or a combination of RGB and NIR.
