The first GIS Class of COGS in 1986 (formely Nova Scotia Land Survey Institute) …

Recently we had some photos sent to us that were scanned from the 70-71 and 71-72 NSLSI yearbooks (yearbooks that were done entirely in house without word processor or other electronic equipment).

Photos include an oblique airphoto showing location of NSLSI in Lawerncetown, photos of the Dart Team, NSLSI First year photogrammetry 1971 class, and a photo of Linette & Captain Hogg with some geomatics technology that I am sure that most recent COGS alumni may not be familiar with.

Thanks to Pierre-Yves for sharing these with us.
