Finding Aid Digitisation Programme 2015

NCAP cares for over 20 million aerial photographs of places around the world. Over 7 million of these are catalogued and accessible to researchers. By digitising and uploading our catalogued finding aids to these photographs we are empowering our subscribers to locate, identify and order copies of these aerial photographs from their homes and offices around the world.

World Overview   Over 12,400 finding aids are now available to view on this website, making over 2,199,000 undigitised aerial photographs accessible.   Online finding aid coverage can be seen on the map on the right, and more information on the most recent batches of finding aids released in 2015 can be viewed below.
