Map Library offers Scanned and Digitized Historical Photos of KW

The Map Library is pleased to share its archival and digitization efforts with the UW campus and community at large. After several months of scanning, digitizing and georeferencing air photos from the 1930s and 1940s, a webpage is now available that showcases these photos. Although the project is not complete yet, central rural areas of Kithener and Waterloo are available for the years 1930 and 1945. Everybody is invited to view and download these images. Images are available in jpg, tiff, pdf and kml formats. Kml can be brought into Google Earth for geospatial viewing.
