December 2008 : Skyscan buys the London Aerial Archive
| Skyscan announce the purchase of the London Aerial Archive, which adds to their existing
specialist aerial photolibrary and complements their unique bird's eye views of Britain captured from the Skyscan (R) Balloon Camera. |
Library Manager Brenda Marks said "Having worked closely with the previous owners for many years, we are delighted to add the London Aerial archive
to our in-house collection. Despite it's name there are many timeless and classic images from all over the British Isles particularly of heritage
sites, towns and cities. We are in the process of computerising the collection which will make online searching a future possibility."
Skyscan locate and supply historic aerial imagery of the UK to clients involved in legal, planning and environmental investigations. The photographs in this historic archive will be of particular benefit to such clients and the
acquisition has now assured the future of this important aerial photographic collection. |
