The major photographic surveys of the sky (undertaken with the ESO, Palomar and UK Schmidt telescopes) still hold enormous potential regarding the information content of the original plate material. The problem to date has been to extract that information in a meaningful and quantitative way, hence giving rise to the large number of digitisation programmes currently underway and which are reported elsewhere in this volume.
