DESCRIPTION
The speaker will present the new interface for cartographic and textual research, GéoPhoto+, which will allow for the identification of all the collections of aerial photographs of the Centre GéoStat held by the Library of the Université Laval. This geographic information dissemination system enables remote consultation of the Centre’s whole set of indexes of aerial photographs using one single, fast and user-friendly interface. It displays—as a footprint—over 160,000 aerial photographs from the federal and provincial governments. GéoPhoto+ not only offers the option to print or send a command by email, it also provides access to each photo’s metadata, such as the flight line number, the photograph’s number, year, scale, season, emulsion, etc. GéoPhoto+ was designed to easily integrate collections of aerial photographs from different institutions. Its decentralized management module allows each institution to easily index new additions of aerial photographs in the collective directory.

Spatial treasure!
Rich information Visible features : Not generalized or symbolized
Witness of the past
Stereo perspective : Stereoscope or scan and integrate in a numerical stereo software
Scan + orthorectify + georeferenced
Roles : Preserve and PromoteSave lost collections (create indexes, don’t refuse donations)
Discovery tools… collaborative tools!

Why redesigning GéoPhoto?
Old interface not enough convivialNo localisation engine, no filter, complex search…
Complex update (adding new photos) Excel, Access, ShapeFile, ArcIMS
One collection (Laval University)
Not built to be collaborative
