<p>Dr Martin Woods, Curator of Maps at the National Library of Australia
has highlighted <br></p><p>the existence of a rich archive of historical imagery dating back 70 years to 1928.
</p><p>This imagery covers large parts of Australia, Papua New Guinea and
Antarctica, and are currently <br>held by the National Archives, Geoscience
Australia, UPGS, National Library of Australia <br>and several other
agencies.
</p>Please see the the following wiki page for an initiative that is trying to collaboratively capture the<br>arguments that could be used to prepare a Business Case to capture and make this invaluable data <br>available as a public resource.<br>
<br>We welcome your help and input to develop these arguments.<br><br><br><a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AustNZ_Australian_historical_imagery">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AustNZ_Australian_historical_imagery</a><br><br>
