Abstract
Abstract Academic libraries have managed print-based aerial photography collections for many years. Some have spent substantial time and effort digitizing items in those collections. Additionally, some libraries have taken on the task of georeferencing these digital images. In recent decades, libraries have begun to receive and manage born-digital georeferenced orthorectified aerial imagery collections, as this acquisition format has superseded print-based photographs. There are significant challenges associated with this shift to managing born-digital imagery. This article describes one academic library’s approach, over the past two decades, of managing a collection of digital georeferenced aerial imagery used in teaching, research, university operations, and all-purpose inquiry by the public. The management activities detailed in here aim to provide helpful information for other libraries having interest in maintaining similar collections.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
