Background

Scope and content:

This collection contains over 300 aerial photographs showing portions of Shenandoah County, Virginia produced in 1989, 1992, and 2000. It also contains documents related to the production of the photographs and placing the order for the images and two large maps of Shenandoah County overlaid with smaller prints of aerial photographs from 2000.

Biographical / historical:

Aerial photographs of Shenandoah County were produced by various Shenandoah County departments (now under the management of the Shenandoah County GIS Department) to assist with taxation and assessment.

Acquisition information:
Donated by Shenandoah County GIS Department, Chris Way Department Head.
Processing information:

Photographs were donated in original boxes. Photographs from 2000 were in production envelopes. Oversize items were loose and folded.

Photographs were placed in mylar sleeves and foldered. Photographs from different years were placed together.

Oversized items were unfolded, placed in oversize folders, and stored flat. Original envelopes and documentation was foldered separately from photographs.

Arrangement:

Collection is arranged chronologically by date photographs were taken.

For photographs taken on the same date, original order is retained. Original order appears to be based on unique identifiers assigned to each image by the company respondible for producing the photographs. For images produced in 1992 images showing the county's towns were uniquely numbered and are foldered separately.

Order information and supporting documents are placed prior to each year's photographs.
