Aerial photographs - Photo library

The Geomatics Division archives contain over 22,000 aerial photographs. The oldest date from 1930, but they are generally located between 1950 and 2003. The set provides a link to an interactive map allowing the download of aerial photographs from multiple years held by the City for the purposes of producing basic cartography. The images are available throughout the island of Montreal or partially depending on the years and scales of aerial photographs. An aerial photograph is a photograph taken from the air. Normally, these are taken vertically, on board an aircraft, using a highly accurate camera. NOTE1: The collection of the Geomatics Division is distinct from that of the Archives de Montréal. NOTE2: The City distributes the photographs in its possession. However, in the event that a claimant has claims on this subject, he is invited to submit them to the City. NOTE3: Note that for paper-based archival images, the City generally does not have the original slides.
