Access Data
The collection consists of approximately 50,000 high-quality negatives
and transparencies showing ice cover impact on navigation or
hydroelectric operation from 1963 to 1973. Coverage is not systematic
or complete. Indexing has not been undertaken, but latitude and
longitude of flight line begin and end points are logged. Photos from
many flights have been made into photomosaics that can be used on-site
as a gross index to the 9-inch roll negatives. Photographic flights were carried out by a U.S. Air Force photomapping wing, using flight
lines selected by NOAA Lake Survey Center (now Great Lakes
Environmental Research Laboratory). Custom photo products may be ordered and the collection is available
for on-site use by appointment; limited searching of the collection is offered to fulfill off-site requests.
