- catalog description "Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc. produced "the first airplane view to show all of America's greatest hardy garden." This "bird's-eye view" was reproduced in the Boston Herald on November 20, 1927. The first real aerial survey occurred in 1936, when Bradford Washburn, on the staff of Harvard's Institute of Geographical Exploration, took 4 images. Mr. Washburn's long affiliation with the Arboretum, which included being Chairman of the Visiting Committee from 1955-1961, coupled with his expertise in aerial photography and mapping, greatly influenced the number of aerial photographs that have been taken of the living collections over the ensuing years. Mapping the Arboretum's living collection based on aerial photography finally came to fruition in 1979, when Mr. Washburn coordinated a photogrammetric survey of the Arboretum by Swissair Photos + Surveys, Ltd. (now named Swissphoto AG.) A base map was produced and formatted in AutoCAD, which interacts with the computerized plant records database, BG-Base.".
