Format Creation
Nassau County Readme:
This set contains 10” x 10” black and white aerial photography of Nassau County taken in 1938. Photos were loaned by the Stony Brook University Library, Special Collections with the assistance of Kristen Nyitray and Jason Torre. Each photo was scanned by Amy Hapeman on 5/24 - 5/25/04 with an Epson 836XL flatbed scanner at 600 dpi as a 24 bit RGB color *.tif file using Adobe Photoshop 7.0. Each image is oriented with north at the top of the photograph. The files are indexed such that the file name is NC (Nassau County)_year_series_xxx(number of photo).jpg. Photos are believed to have been taken by the USDA Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) since the Suffolk 1938 photography is known to be USDA and has very similar dates and notation within the photographs including the letters ‘AAA’ followed by a scale of 1:20000.
