Abstract
The Aerial Survey Photography Records consist of more than 11,000 film negatives as well as derivative contract prints and diapositives. These records of the Australian landscape were created by Geoscience Australia and its predecessor agencies such as the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group, the Australian Survey Office and the Division of National Mapping. The records were captured during the period c.1928-1993 and have been used as the basis for the Commonwealth government's topographic map production as well as providing an opportunity to track environmental changes in the landscape over an extensive period of time. Antarctic films are also included in the collection. The entire collection was transferred to National Archives Australia in December 2010.

Lineage
Scanned by PHOTOMAPPING SERVICES 16 bit TIFF files were produced by digitally scanning the National Australia Archives (NAA) aerial photo film archive. Each TIFF file is a replica of the original. The TIFF files were then used to generate one large and one small JPEG derivative of each image.
