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. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/AustNZ_Australian_historical_imagery Bruce Bannerman NB: If you haven't done so already, please don't forget to register for FOSS4G-2009.
