To select a single photo, click on a red dot and a “photo details” box will pop up with the information required to order a reproduction of the photo or retrieve the actual photo for viewing at the Archives. Clicking the linked photo ID in the photo details box will send the information to the order information box on the right hand side of the screen.

You may also select multiple photos at the same time from the same area by using the “Draw a shape” button that sits just to the left of the “Map” button.

Note that some photo details boxes give the option to view a thumbnail of the photo image. Additional thumbnails will be added in future.

Completing the shape will send information for all of the photo points within the shape to the order information box on the right hand side of the screen.

Once you have selected the image(s) you wish to order or view, fill in the rest of the information in the order information box (name and contact information) and select either Order for Reproduction OR View in Reading Room.

If you order for reproduction, the photo will be reproduced for you and you will be charged for the photo according to our fees schedule found below.

If you order for viewing, reference staff will retrieve the original photo and hold it for you to be viewed in the Archives Reading Room. There is no charge for this.

Please note that you have the option of viewing the map in “Topographic” or Satellite” mode. Satellite option will allow you to see the actual terrain of the photo’s area.
