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.
