Digitised Historic Aerial Surveys Available for Download (1936-2005)

This layer has been provided to identify the coverage of digitised and released historic aerial photos for Mainland NZ flown on behalf of the Crown between 1936 and 2005. The layer shows the extents of the aerial surveys released by LINZ under open license. The [NZ Aerial Photo Footprints, Mainland NZ, (1936-2005) polygons]( https://data.linz.govt.nz/layer/1002-nz-aerial-photo-footprints-mainland-nz-1936-2005-polygons/ ) layer shows the extent of each photograph in the survey and provide metadata for the individual photos.


See: [ https://www.flickr.com/photos/135346658@N08/albums ]( https://www.flickr.com/photos/135346658@N08/albums ) for access to the photos. **The photos are not downloadable from the LINZ Data Service.** Please note that the process to make the scanned photos openly available is still under development, and the distribution mechanism may change. These first ten surveys are made available to showcase the content of the archive and what users can expect access to. Once we have established the long-term distribution mechanism LINZ’s goal is to periodically add surveys to this layer as they become available. We expect this distribution mechanism will be established near the end of 2015 and the next release of surveys will occur at that time.

The original data used to create this layer was compiled prior to 2000 and it is possible that some errors exist in the data fields. If you are aware of any inaccuracies, please contact LINZ: info@linz.govt.nz or +64 4 4600110.

Purpose

With much of New Zealand photographed a number of times over the years, the Collection facilitates analysis of landscape and environmental changes over time. Historic photography is also useful for mapping the terrain as it was prior to development or aforestation.

Resource lineage

Statement

LINZ and its predecessors, Lands & Survey and Department of Survey and Land Information (DOSLI), commissioned aerial photography for the Crown between 1937 and 2005.

A database of the coverage, along with information about the survey number, run number and photo number; also camera, focal length, altitude and coordinate of the photo centre has been converted to SHAPE file format for loading into the LINZ Data Service.

One of the predominant uses of the aerial photography at the time was the photogrammetric mapping of New Zealand, initially at 1inch to 1mile followed by the NZMS 260 series at 1:50,000.

Updates to the 1:50,000 data (now released as the Topo50 map series) were made initially using orthophotography, and today orthophotos created from both aerial photography and the all-of-government satellite imagery (KiwImage) are used.
