While reviewing the historical development of aerial photography and the applied aero-photogrammetric methods, the author discusses the usability of aerial photographs for the townplanning and for solving the problems accompanying adaptation of historical u rban settings to their new, present-day functions. The aerial photographs form an extremely valuable material for those responsible for conservation of historical monuments, in several instances becoming a source of additional information or in some cases the substitutes for a conventional cartographic or geodetic surveys. In this conviction a decision has been taken in the Historical Monuments Documentation Centre to prepare a series of aerial views of ancient towns throughout Poland which the action was carried out within a period of 1966—69. On the background of the previously worked out criteria the most interesting towns were chosen with their best preserved plans and ancient building. It was assumed that the aerial photographs have to illustrate in the best possible manner all the features present in topographic layout and the urban landscape of a given town, their general views as well as the building of the separate quarters, street courses, market and square frontages, fragments of old fortification systems and so forth. Within the detailed views it was planned to photograph the most interesting objects dominating over a given urban setting as the town halls, churches or castles. The thematic outlines required that two kinds of aerial photographs be taken, namely these in vertical projection and those inclined. During the flights carried out some 750 localities were photographed of which the number about 600 towns for whom more than 5.000 negatives of 6X6 or 6X9 cm sizes were obtained. Collection of these photographs will be used for a many-volume publication „Historical Urban Centres in Poland” now under preparation in the Historical Monuments Documentation Centre. From the viewpoint of those involved in conservation the above publication can be considered as one of entirely unique character not only in this country.

The search for invisible and clandestine burial places of victims of wars and totalitarian crimes is a very difficult task. Research and exhumation teams use various methods to help locate burial places. According to the experience of our team, one of the best sources of information about burials are archival and contemporary aerial photographs. During World War II, aerial photography became one of the most important tools for warfare reconnaissance. For this reason, huge numbers of aerial photographs are currently available, in which the victim’s burial sites have been accidentally recorded. Aerial photographs are often helpful not in the direct identification of graves, but in the reconstruction of topographies of individual objects within a defined period of time, and thus, indirectly, in the location of graves. The aim of the study was to demonstrate the usefulness of historical aerial, satellite and drone photographs in the process of searching for the remains of victims of armed conflicts and totalitarian crimes. The paper presents the experience gained in the course of research projects carried out.

Poszukiwanie niewidocznych i tajnych miejsc pochówku ofiar wojen i zbrodni systemów totalitarnych jest bardzo trudnym zadaniem. Zespoły badawcze i ekshumacyjne stosują różne metody pomagające w lokalizacji miejsc pochówku. Według doświadczeń naszego zespołu jednym z najlepszych źródeł informacji o pochówkach są archiwalne i współczesne zdjęcia lotnicze. Fotografia lotnicza w czasie II wojny światowej stała się jednym z najważniejszych narzędzi służących rozpoznaniu działań wojennych. Z tego względu obecnie mamy ogromną liczbę zdjęć lotniczych, na których przypadkowo utrwalono miejsca pochówków ofiar. Zdjęcia lotnicze są często pomocne nie w bezpośredniej identyfikacji grobów, ale w rekonstrukcji topografii poszczególnych obiektów w określonym czasie, a dzięki temu pośrednio w lokalizacji grobów. Celem badania było zademonstrowanie przydatności historycznych zdjęć lotniczych, zdjęć satelitarnych lub wykonanych przez drony w procesie poszukiwania szczątków ofiar konfliktów zbrojnych i zbrodni systemów totalitarnych. Praca przedstawia doświadczenia zebrane w trakcie zrealizowanych projektów badawczych.

Aerial photographs are extremely valuable, often underestimated historical sources. Their use gives very positive results pertaining to research in the field of military history. Photographs documenting the events of World War II constitute primary sources of great importance in many areas of historical research in which archival sources have not survived. As documented by case studies, they validate the legitimacy of basing research methodology on photographic documents. Following a short historical outline on the development of aerial photography, the author analyzes some cases related to Warsaw’s destruction and reconstruction of its urban layout, as well as the murders committed by the NKVD in Kharkiv and Mednoye.

The paper New Data for Research on the Cuiavian Strongholds from Mietlica and Borkowo concerns issues of archaeology and the protection of monuments. It briefly discusses the state of hitherto research and knowledge on the strongholds in Mietlica and Borkowo. Then there follows a thorough analysis of aerial photographs (made by Łukasz Oliwkowski) of both these defensive premises. e discussion is separately completed with data acquired in consequence of subsequent surveys of the strongholds in Mietlica and Borkowo, carried out in the years 2007–2014. In the case of the castrum in Mietlica, the aerial photos and field surveys allowed for the recording of traces of the area in front of the rampart, the moat and the gate. Furthermore, a putative course of the eastern rampart (now levelled) of this premise was identified. In the case of the stronghold in Borkowo, it was possible not only to record its shape (the premise is two thirds destroyed) but also to propose a daring supposition concerning the vicinity of this Early Medieval stronghold. Based on aerial photographs, it was possible to state that the stronghold was accompanied with a suburbium to the south-east. All these pieces of information seem to be relevant from the point of view of possible excavations at both sites in future. At the same time, this data should also be of significance from the point of view of the heritage protection service and the protection of the discussed strongholds.
