The Map and Image Library of the Department of Geography and Geology received a collection of some ten thousand aerial photographs of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s Commonwealth Caribbean from Royal Holloway College of the University of London in the summer of 2016.

The collection includes countries on mainland South America (Belize and Guyana) and extends to Cayman in the Northern Caribbean. Barbados is excluded as it seems to have become separated from the corpus. Since acquisition, the twenty shipping cartons holding individual photograph boxes containing aerial photographs have been assessed for mold infestation and general condition, sorted by territory and year and the photograph boxes inventoried in Excel. A complete listing by individual photograph has not yet been completed.
