Preferred Citation : Atlantic City Free Public Library Collection of Atlantic City Photographs, 2007 Aerial Photographs (H009.2007a), Alfred M. Heston Collection, Atlantic City Free Public Library. Creator: In October 2007 the Atlantic City Free Public Library hired Artist In the Sky, an aerial photography company from Lake Village, Indiana, to make a visual record of Atlantic City. The Library determined to do this as many changes were occurring in Atlantic City at the time; the Sands Casino was demolished just days after the photo shoot and Revel Entertainment was clearing land in the Inlet area for a new casino. Artist In the Sky captured the digital photographs in this collection on October 15, 2007 from a Cessna airplane using a Canon EOS-5D camera. IN-DEPTH INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLLECTION Scope and Content: The 161 individual digital images in this collection were captured on October 15, 2007 using a Canon EOS-5D camera. The images represent all areas of Atlantic City. Images were taken primarily from the water - the Bay, Inlet, or the Atlantic Ocean), but all neighborhoods of the City are visible. Each image was transmitted to the Atlantic City Free Public Library as a TIF format and as a JPG file format in 4 compression levels (33%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). Digital files were delivered to ACFPL on five DVD-R discs. TIF and JPG (100%) files were transferred to a server for digital preservation. Digital files and prints were numbered according the digital file name assigned by the camera. Photograph descriptions were assigned by the archivist based on geological and manmade landmarks visible in each image. System of Arrangement: The 161 images were printed in July 2008 on 8.5” by 11” archival paper with archival ink by Arc Reprographics of Absecon, New Jersey. The printed images are housed in two Updated 16 June 2009. boxes for researcher use. Box 1 contains images 9625 to 9709 and Box 2 contains images 9710 to 9785.
