News

Work continues on the scanning of a collection of aerial photographs donated to NSIDC by Bruce Molnia and taken by Austin Post. This collection is one large reel of film containing tiny copies (less than 1”x1”) of the aerials photographs. Kristin has been meticulously cutting the images from the reel, indexing them, packaging and shipping them off to our CDMP contractor for scanning. In addition to scanning, the contractor is attempting, with our assistance, to match the Photo Index metadata to the aerial photos. This is proving to be more difficult than we hoped. Stay tuned for more news and updates as they develop.
