Scope

1.1 This guide is intended to assist potential users in the search for, evaluation of, and acquisition of remotely sensed aerial photography or imagery, or both, to be used for the purpose of establishing the historic site-use and other interpretable surface or near-surface conditions regionally, locally, or at a specified project location.

1.2 The instructions given in this guide identify sources of photography and imagery, and provide information pertaining to the specifications, characteristics, and availability of these data.

1.3 The major sources considered are restricted to federal and state organizations only. The sources described do not represent all possible sources of interest for environmental and engineering applications.

1.4 The values stated in both inch-pound and SI units are to be regarded separately as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
