advanced countries was expressed by repre- 
sentatives of the developing countries. Also, a 
- strong desire to deliver such help was expressed 
by representatives of the more advanced coun- 
tries. In the opinion of the representatives of the 
developing countries, such help should consist 
mainly of experts and instructors coming to the 
developing countries. The instructors should 
assist the local staff in organizing courses on a 
basic and a postgraduate level, as well as in 
designing guidelines for the development of 
photogrammetry and photointerpretation. The 
desire to train staff in local rather than in foreign 
training centers was specially emphasized.

Session 6 of Commission VI 
Topic: History and Development of Photo- 
grammetry — People and Tech- 
nologies 
Chairman: Dr. Z. Sitek (Poland) 
Invited Paper 
Author: Dr. M. Albotá (Romania) 
Title: Short Chronological History of Pho- 
togrammetry /P VI/05 
Panel Discussion 
Topic: Could and Should ISP Publish a 
History of Photogrammetry? 
Moderator: Dr. T. Blachut (Canada) 
Panelists: — Dr. M. Albotá (Romania) 
Dr. F. J. Doyle (U.S.A.) 
Dr. B. Dubuisson (France) 
Dr. K. Rinner (Austria) 
Dr. Z. Sitek (Poland) 
Dr. L. Solaini (Italy) 
Dr. J. Jachimsky (Poland) 
The general consensus of the panelists and other 
speakers was that I.S.P. could and should publish 
a history of photogrammetry and that it should 
begin right away. À presentation of the history 
of photogrammetry would not only guarantee 
excellent publicity for the field itself, but would 
also provide useful material for the younger 
generation. 
In order to prepare a good history of photogram- 
metry, the I.S.P. should form a team of knowledge- 
able authors headed by a coordinator. It was 
considered advisable to consult historians in 
matters concerning the methodology involved. 
The editorial board thus established would con- 
sult or even cooperate with authors representing 
areas where languages other than the official 
I.S.P. languages are spoken. It should also con- 
sult the national societies, and use all available 
printed material, including chapters on the his- 
tory of photogrammetry printed in various hand- 
books. 
To make team work possible, the book should 
be divided into chapters to be written by different 
authors. The chapters should be written chrono- 
logically and should treat the main aspects of 
the subject. 
The book should consist of no more than 200 to 
250 printed pages. It should be written in English, 
i.e., its first edition. 
It is advisable to publish photographs of deceased 
photogrammetrists only. It would also be advis- 
able to supplement the book with a short chrono- 
logical list of events. 
The discussion concluded with the observation 
that, although history needs to be filtered by time 
in order to be objective, the work should be 
undertaken immediately and accomplished within 
the following inter-congress period.
