• Abstract:
  Over time, the Department of Transportation has accumulated image collections, which document important ; aspects of the transportation infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest, project status and construction details. These ; images range from paper photographs to extremely high resolution digital (or digitized) aerial photography, ; collected by many departments using film cameras, cell phone cameras, digital snapshot cameras, digital SLRs ; and special purpose geo-encoding stereographic cameras. Due to the diverse collection methods and technologies, ; as well as the growth of the use of imaging at the Department of Transportation – there are many separate archives ; of images with multiple incompatible access methods. This assessment identifies the current state of archiving and ; indexing images at the Department, summarizes a survey of key stakeholders in the current system, and ; recommends next steps toward developing an agency-wide image documentation and access system.
