Wayback app, Historical Imagery, 20 years

[AzizTejan-Jalloh]

The Wayback app is a excellent addition to the Living Atlas Collection. Currently, the Imagery available to analyze and compare side by side by year only extends back 8 years.

It would be even more useful to add more World Historical Imagery going WAYBACK at least another 30 years. 

I know it may take sometime to accomplish but this is will add enormous value to all sorts of applications inorder to completely answer some temporal changes in specific local  AOIs of interest.

Thank you in advance.

Aziz, this is a great idea. Unfortunately it's impractical for us to provide imagery beyond the current historical dates we offer. We used to replace our World Imagery with the latest updates, however we recognized the value to the user community of keeping the older versions available via the Wayback Imagery archives. 

We have no plans to attempt to collect imagery prior to what we already archive, but moving forward we will continue to archive World Imagery versions for use in the Wayback app and archives.
