I would be grateful to hear how other people store their collections of aerial photographs? At the moment in Cumbria we store each collection separately by film number. These are cross-referenced to individual SMR entries and vice versa. We find this works fine for us, but we have been advised that the photgraphs might be more suitably stored by individual map squares, ie, SD2348, 2448, etc. To re-organise our 10,000 odd photogarphs in this manner would be considerably time-consuming and expensive. I need to know if it will be worth doing it and would be grateful for any advice. I can see the advantage of the map square method, but I am somewhat frightened of mixing all the different collections together in this manner. What do other people think/do?
Many thanks.
