This book examines the use of photography across two different but
complementary disciplines. The first part focuses on the use of photography in
landscape studies, revisiting several landscapes and weathering studies where digital
photographs have demonstrated landscape change in urban areas through time. Archival
studies are integrated as part of cross-temporal research applications of photographs.
Much of this part of the book is based on work performed in Oxford, UK. The second
part of the book focuses on the archaeological use of photographs, comprising
churchyard studies throughout England and Scotland in the UK. The scientific
application of (digital) photography is presented for research scientists (landscape
experts) and professional practitioners. The book is also intended for archivists
interested in records of urban environments and for those readers who are interested in
the geographical scope of the British cities covered in this work, including Oxford,
York, Scarborough, Dunbar, Edinburgh, and Inverness. This eBook is crossdisciplinary,
comprising quantitative studies within geomorphology and heritage
science as well as more qualitative work in the area of historical archaeology. The
photographic record contained in this book makes it a storehouse of visual records
through time made accessible to a broader audience as an online (eBook) resource.
