More than a million vertiginous aerial photos taken between the end of the First World War and 2006, including the largest set of overhead photographs of Britain taken before 1939, will be digitised for the public after the Lottery awarded £1.75 million to a four-year conservation programme.
English Heritage and the Royal Commissions on the Ancient and Historical Monuments for Scotland and Wales will start scanning negatives from the Aerofilms Collection in 2011, with 95,000 images taken between 1919 and 1953 expected to be online by 2014.
