The Archaeology Data Service is pleased to announce the
web publication of its second Guide to Good Practice. Entitled
"Archiving Aerial Photography and Remote Sensing Data: a Guide to
Good Practice", it provides guidance for individuals and
organisations involved in the creation, maintenance, use and
long-term preservation of digital resources derived from
aerial photography or satellite imagery. This guide to
good practice does not cover archaeological geophysics as this
is being covered in a separate volume.  The volume is written for
specialists, students, and those in between and is endorsed
by the Council for British Archaeology.
 
Archiving Aerial Photography and Remote Sensing Data:
a Guide to Good Practice has been written by a team of
archaeologists, digital archivists, and geographers based in
the Netherlands and the United Kingdom: Robert Bewley,
Danny Donoghue, Vince Gaffney, Martijn van Leusen, and Alicia
Wise.
 
A traditional published version of Archiving Aerial Photography
and Remote Sensing Data:  a Guide to Good Practice will be
available from Oxbow Books. Contact Oxbow Books, Park End Place,
Oxford, OX1 1HN for more information. Their email address is

This is the second volume in a series of Guides to Good
Practice produced by the Arts and Humanities Data Service
(AHDS). The AHDS is a digital archiving service in the UK
consisting of six distributed services catering for the needs
of researchers in archaeology, history, performing arts, text
studies, and visual arts. Information about the AHDS Guide
to Good Practice series can be obtained at:

The first published title in the series covers the creation,
management, and preservation of GIS datasets and is available
at http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/project/goodguides/gis/.  Other
titles in this series focus on a variety of digital data
types including CAD, images, moving images, and texts.
Three additional guides in this series are being
developed by the Archaeology Data Service. They cover
the archiving of digital excavation records, CAD datasets,
and archaeological geophysics. For more information
