ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY

The Cornell University Center for Aerial Photographic Studies records also known as the Cornell Center for Integrated Aerial Photography Studies was founded and directed by Professor Donald J. Belcher. The Center was an interdisciplinary program that focused on practical uses of aerial photography. Aerial photographic interpretation done within the program was used by departments across the University. Examples of research included technical work on optics and instrumentation was done in the College of Engineering, research on soils, pollution, and agronomy, in the College of Agriculture, geology in Arts and Sciences and land planning by the College of Architecture. Research from the lab also had military applications. The program evolved to include satellite remote sensing.

COLLECTION DESCRIPTION

Collection consists mainly of the actual film reels used for interpretation and research. Air photos and roll film from miscellaneous projects conducted by Cornell faculty for engineering projects, such as road siting, railroads, landslide analysis, etc. Sites include Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Guatemala, New Guinea, Panama, & Puerto Rico and others.
Roll film from the Skylab project. Photos from the spacecraft acquired by Cornell for use in determining how well the airphoto analysis techniques developed at Cornell could be applied to imagery collected at satellite altitudes. Most of the rolls are 2.5" format from the S190A camera, but there are a number of 5" and 9" format rolls. Details of the project and inventory of the images can be found in the NASA publication Skylab Earth Resources Data Catalog.
Roll film from a 1970s Environmental Protection Agency project studying drainage and eutrophication in the Finger Lakes. Some of this imagery is described in the volume Inventory of Aerial Photography and other Remotely Sense Imagery of New York State 1968-1983. Includes Canadarago, Cayuga, Great Gully, Onondaga, Owasco, and Skaneateles.
Landform Series material. Training manuals put together for the U.S. military for training in airphoto interpretation, specifically landform analysis. There are several copies of this document, some complete, others not. All of the photos are hand-glued into the pages and many of the photos have come unglued. Includes information on observation of sedimentary rock, igneous rock, metamorphic rock, waterlaid materials, glacial materials, and windlaid materials.
Collection also includes several publications by faculty involved with the program and others. Also includes equipment used for viewing film reels.
