The Austin Post aerial photo collection (dating from 1960-1995) contains over 100,000 images of North American valley glaciers. There is no other comprehensive photographic archive documenting the state of glaciers in western North America from 1960-1995 and the community no longer has access to these photos, because they exist largely in roll-film negative form at an archive center with no capability for scanning or printing them; this also poses a long-term archival risk. This proposal has one overarching goal; rescue the Austin Post aerial photo collection. This consists of high resolution photogrammetric scanning of approximately 30% of the roll-film, metadata generation, flight-line reconstruction, photo geolocation, and digital archival at both national archive centers and consumer photo sharing sites. The digital forms of these photos will be archived at several sites and there is also a great potential for a wide and spectacular dissemination and broader impact, simply by the planned distribution of selected pictures and what scientific message they may be conveying in an unusual visual clear and convincing way to the broad public, including decision-makers.

奥斯汀邮报的航拍图片集（从1960年到1995年）包含了超过10万张北美山谷冰川的照片。没有其他综合性的照片档案记录了1960-1995年北美西部冰川的状况，社区也不再有机会获得这些照片，因为它们主要以卷筒底片的形式存在于档案中心，没有能力扫描或打印它们；这也带来了长期的档案风险。这项提议有一个总体目标；拯救奥斯汀邮报的航拍图片集。这包括对大约30%的胶卷进行高分辨率摄影测量扫描、元数据生成、航线重建、照片地理定位，以及在国家档案中心和消费者照片共享网站进行数字存档。这些照片的数字形式将被保存在几个地点，而且只要有计划地分发选定的照片，以及它们可能以一种不同寻常的视觉清晰和令人信服的方式向包括决策者在内的广大公众传达的科学信息，就有很大的潜力进行广泛而壮观的传播和更广泛的影响。
