INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT MANAGERS, SURVEYORS, ENGINEERS, ARCHAEOLOGISTS, ECOLOGISTS, PLANNERS, SPATIAL SCIENTISTS AND SCIENTISTS WILL BE DELIGHTED THAT ACCESS TO SOME 750,000 PLUS AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS, TAKEN ABOVE NEW ZEALAND BETWEEN 1936 AND 2014, HAVE BEEN PRESERVED THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN OPUS INTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTS LTD (OPUS) AND LAND INFORMATION NEW ZEALAND (LINZ). THE COLLECTION IS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE IN NEW ZEALAND AND IS A CRITICAL RESOURCE FOR MANY PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN THE NATURAL AND BUILT ENVIRONMENT. The demise of New Zealand's oldest aerial surveying company (NZAM) in September 2014 left the channel for public access to both the Crown archive (approximately 600,000 photographs) and NZAM's own archive (approximately 150,000 photographs) at risk. Both archives are now housed on-site at Opus, Napier.
