The Archive of Aerial Photographs has been part of the Institute of Archaeology of the CAS in Prague (IAP) since 1992. A large number of aerial images (c. 20,000) have been collected here during the intensive aerial survey which began immediately after being allowed by the state system and lasts until today. Most of the photographs come from the Institute's survey activities conducted with its own aircraft. The photographs exist in both analogue and digital form. In 2012-2015, a systematic catalogue of existing photos and corresponding sites was created as part of the Archaeological Map of the Czech Republic project and other collaborating projects on aerial archaeology. Photographs from several other archaeological institutions in Bohemia have also been included. Sites identified from the air as specific marks on crops or soil and many standing historical monuments have been recorded. This data will become part of the AMCR information system and contribute to the Europe-wide ARIADNE research infrastructure. Aerial photographs can be described and linked to other database objects by means of the specialized AMCR module. The rectification, geo-referencing and vectorisation of selected aerial photos is currently being carried out independently of AMCR activities. The Archive of Aerial Photographs will be accessible via the AMCR tools in the near future.
