>Amazing. Sounds like a similar cache to what's held at Bodelian in Oxford.

>Folks,

>Sheffield University has some surplus aerial imagery that could be available
>to us if we wish to have it. Its described as a considerable collection
>(amounting to around 6 filling
>cabinets) of UK (mostly England, and mainly northern England) black & white
>9" x 9" photographic prints, dating from around WWII to the early 1980s.
>There are a few index sheets, many of the boxed sets are labelled.
>
>I've asked for some more details so that we might consider storage
>requirements (They are currently temporarily stored in a garage but need to
>be in a dry low humidity room really) and should get some photos of what it
>all looks like in the next few days.
>
>In the meantime two questions for UK OSMers:
>
>1. Do you think this is a resource that we should go for and build upon as a
>sub-project within OSM?
>2. How should we best deal with physical storage until such time as items
>can be digitised. The question about what to do with documents (same applies
>to all the map sheets I have) after digitising can be left till a later
>date.
>
>I'm less worried about scanning and managing the files now as I have
>sufficient scanning equipment to cover most bases and disk space attached to
>an OSM sever doesn't appear to be an issue. We would need to come up with
>tools and methods of turning them into a seamless mosaic but I'm sure given
>the task there's a workable solution for that too.
>
>All thoughts, suggestions and offers welcome.

>Cheers
