 Enhanced Library Collection Access Through GIS: Historic Colorado Aerial Photographs Track: Using GIS in Libraries & Museums Author(s): Kathryn Lage, Christopher Cronin, Holley Long This case study presents the use of GIS in a map library to create an enhanced index for a collection of historical aerial photographs of Colorado. The University of Colorado at Boulder's Jerry Crail Johnson Earth Sciences and Map Library scanned and indexed 1700 aerial photographs taken from 1938-1947. Library staff used ArcView 3.2 and ArcGIS 8.1 to plot the center points of each photograph and enhanced the georeferencing with a detailed attribute table. The project web site provides access to the photographs and the spatial data captured in the attribute table through a map search and a keyword search.
