Abstract
In 1996, digital archives of the countrywide airborne survey of Tanzania flown by<br>Geosurvey International (GmbH) were rediscovered. Previously, only paper contour<br>maps or digitized derivatives thereof were available. The Council for Geoscience<br>(South Africa) was contracted to reprocess the digital data to current standards. The<br>reprocessing of this legacy data was a great challenge. Some problems with the data<br>could not be rectified, however the quality of the reprocessed data is excellent. This<br>reprocessed airborne countrywide data will stimulate further exploration in Tanzania.
