Scientific paper

The Hewitt Camera Archive is a collection of approximately 11,000 Schmidt camera plates made by various professional bodies in the UK and in Australia during the past 30 years. The purpose was to track artificial satellites, but background stars are also recorded to a high positional accuracy. Following the transfer of the Royal Greenwich Observatory from Herstmonceux, to Cambridge the Archive and a Zeiss plate measuring machine have been transferred into the keeping of Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society. The Zeiss has been reassembled and the plates have been fully indexed. The Archive and the plate measuring machine will be made available to the astronomical community.
