Geospatial Revolution Film Project

The ASPRS Films Project, working through the ASPRS Foundation, supported the initial efforts, which eventually resulted in the Penn State Public Broadcasting (PSPB) Geospatial Revolution Project. The Geospatial Revolution Project launched September 15, 2010. All four episodes are now available to view here or at: http://www.geospatialrevolution.psu.edu.

ASPRS Films Archive

The ASPRS Films Archive is a repository of historical assets relevant to photogrammetry, remote sensing, and mapping. It derives its material from submissions by ASPRS members and others and includes scanned photographs as well as a variety of other media. The Films History Project originally created this online archive that allows members and the public to not only view historical material, but to also contribute to that archive by submitting electronic versions from their own personal collections.
