"More than 15,000 images from one of the earliest and most significant
collections of aerial photography are now freely accessible online for
the first time.
"The photos on the Britain from Above website,
launched today, have gone through a painstaking process of conservation
and cataloguing.

"With
the help of the English Heritage and the Royal Commissions on the
Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and Wales, thousands of
photos were digitised so that the public can enjoy these unique images."
