This collection (known internally to Maryland Geological Survey as Component 5A) consists of 103 photo-mosaic index maps (89 unique maps plus duplicates) dating from 1955-1981. The date printed on the index map (and listed in the metadata) is the date that flying (photography) was completed for each index map. Each photo-mosaic index map shows individual aerial photographs (with Flight Lines and Frame numbers) in a particular U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute or 15-minute quadrangle in Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia, or West Virginia. These index maps are black-and-white and approximately 10 in. by 12 in. in size. This collection serves as a finding aid for a portion of the Quad-Based Aerial...

This collection (known internally at Maryland Geological Survey as Component 2) consists of 505 enlargements of unrectified, black-and-white aerial photographs flown along Maryland's barrier islands during 13 different time periods (or "sets") between October 1952 and July 1964. Each of the photographs in the collection is about 2 feet x 2 feet in size. Some of the photographs have a scale of 1:14,400 or 1:6,000 stamped on the front. On the backs of many of the photographs is another stamp of "1" = 200 ft". The photographs cover the Maryland section of two narrow barrier islands that lie along Maryland's Atlantic coast, separated by the Ocean City Inlet: Fenwick Island to the north and Assateague Island to the...

This collection is comprised of digital, slide and print photographs taken during minerals related field projects from 1970-2020. There are approximately 35,800 photos and slides that need to be culled, documented and archived. 81% of the photos are in digital format and most need to be manually matched with their locations from geologists’ field notes, although a small percentage have locations and descriptions that could easily be archived. The remaining 19% are slide and print format that need the same attention but are in fair to good condition for scanning purposes. There are 50 videos that are also part of this collection. These photos document field sites, geologic features, landscapes and landforms from...
