[SOA] ODOT aerial films

[MCKINLEY, LONNA L CIV USAF AFMC NMUSAF/MUA]

SOA Listserv members,

I have been contacted by Rick Hentz about a collection of film.  Hentz is the Aerial Imagery Curator with the Ohio Dept. of Transportation (ODOT).   ODOT is looking for a home for their film-based historic Ohio aerial photo collection. The collection includes approximately 2,400 rolls of aerial film dating back to 1946.  Each roll is approximately 6 lbs. and is stored in a cylindrical 6”x 10” plastic canister. Most of the film is polyester and non-flammable.  A few pictures are attached.

ODOT is in the process of digitizing the collection but management does not plan to keep the rolls, once digitized. From an archival perspective, these rolls are priceless and irreplaceable. 

Hentz is asking if anyone on the listserv can direct him to a repository, "before they meet an untimely demise in a recycle factory."

Please contact him, info below, if you have any ideas!
