Guide to the Finding Aid Record page
Once your search results are returned, individual finding aids can be examined. Each finding aid appears with an accompanying location map.
Subscribers can zoom-and-pan them to identify which of our millions of undigitised aerial photographs cover their specific area of interest. Photo frame numbers can then be added to the notepad area, which links through to the order form. When ordering images directly from finding aids, we recommend that you order the image you want plus the images on either side, to ensure that coverage of your area of interest is achieved. We cannot guarantee the absolute accuracy of the footprints depicted on finding aids.
