Unprocessed collections of aerial photographs of Jefferson County include black and white diapositives (transparencies), prints, contact prints, orthophoto negatives and displays. Earliest aerial photos were for special projects only, therefore coverage of county is not complete. From 1955 on, photos are arranged by flight line or project.
