NSA library - WWW?

[P3D Shelley, Dan <dshelley@xxxxxxxx>]

Because of all the recent discussion about WWW Images and Photographic 
Images I have been thinking about the subject more than usual...

One of the main areas that I think that 3D photography would benefit 
from WWW exposure is the NSA library. I had the privilege of visiting 
this place a few months ago, but would venture to say that far less 
than 1% of the people on this list have ever been there. (or will ever 
go there!) That is too bad because there is a wealth of 3D info to 
learn from, and enjoy there. I have tried to provide SOME information 
about SOME of it's contents in my Web Pages (book list), there is still 
a multitude of images there that seldom gets seen or used. 

I was able to spend only 4 hours there, and got to see only a handful 
of the MANY images available. I may return someday, but... Wouldn't it 
be wonderful (all resolution opinions aside) to have that library of 
images available to learn from and experience on the Web? No matter 
your location, or the time of day, you could spend time at the NSA 
library... Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? 

The Union Pacific Railroad has such a collection on line, and it is 
great! Large portions of railroad history presented in stereo!! I can 
think of no better way to get people interested in the NSA, and 3D in 
general than by providing them with this type of information/images. 
When you look for  info on the NSA on the web now, you generally only 
find a few magazine covers and a few paragraphs of info. Not exactly 
representative of what is really out there...

Ideas, opinions, etc.??
