The ProAerial Media Historical Preservation Project aims to provide established and underserved cultural and historical sites with the digital resources and expertise necessary to aid in their preservation and experiential fund-raising efforts. We provide aerial and terrestrial photography, videography, and photogrammetry services, at special discounted rates, for qualified nonprofits and not-for-profits looking to preserve their legacies as 3D recreations of reality.
In order to assist us in researching, selecting, finding, and accessing the various historic sites that we visit, we’ve partnered with Starbuck’s Exploring out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Starbuck’s Exploring founder, Guy Starbuck, possesses a lifetime of experience in accessing remote sites all across the Western United States, and we’re lucky to be working with him. We encourage you to visit his site to view his body of work (and maybe even make a donation).
How Aerial Photogrammetry MAKES PRESERVATION POSSIBLE
In order to properly preserve buildings or landmarks for future generations to experience, proper funding and a team of people is almost always needed.
The reality is, there are far more sites to preserve than there is funding to allocate, and little effort is actually made.
By capturing aerial imaging data via a UAV (or Drone), these sites can be preserved digitally and interpreted into various interactive 3D models and 2D maps that can be shared and experienced by anyone with an internet connection.
