The Robinson Map Library owns an extensive
collection of historic aerial photography, primarily covering the state
of Wisconsin, but also including some coverage for other states and even
other countries. The air photos date from the 1930's to the 1990's. In
addition, the library has more current coverage for Madison and Dane County.

Now you can do your research before you even visit the library. Our photo indexes are available for viewing and downloading from the WI Catalog of Aerial Photography. Click on the WI image map to select a county, then click on the "Who to Contact" column. The Map Library's holdings show up first in the list. Click the "YES" link to view the index image. Red circles indicate photos we have in our collection. If an exposure does not have a red circle, we do not have it.
Most of the collection consists of 9"x9" black and white photos, with the exception of some color 9"x9" or enlarged photos for certain Wisconsin counties. View a Sample Dane County color 1990 photograph.
