Anyone know if any aerials exist for years between 1998 and 2002?
Thanks,

Paul -- I used to always review the air photo collection at RI Statewide Planning. Not sure what % of the vast RI collection that has now been digitized, but you could always view the 9x9's, or large-format postives, and then request to have them printed by an outside commercial company. Mr Manny Guisti, Head Draftsman was always most helpful, very knowledgeable and a great resource. I trust that the photo library/archives are being maintained by the State -- they are an important resource. The more years than can be digitzied and available through RIGIS the better. Mary

On second thought -- you may want to reach out to contractors such as Chas H. Sells, James Sewall & Co., Keystone Aerial Surveys, Aerotech Corp, Photo Sciences, EarthTech, etc., etc -- they often capture a greater area than what they were contracted to to allow for "spec purposes". Mary
