The Commons on Flickr

It’s been awhile since my last post, things have been, and still are, kinda hectic and stressful. Which makes me wonder why I’m expanding on the last post rather than posting on a new subject… oh right, I think it’s way cool.

Remember my last post? The one about The Library of Congress posting rights free historical photos on Flickr? Well, it turns out that there is a project called The Commons that Flickr piloted with LOC back in February. Since then The Powerhouse Museum, and The Brooklyn Museum have joined The Commons.

What is the Commons? Flickr says:

The key goals of The Commons on Flickr are to firstly show you hidden treasures in the world’s public photography archives, and secondly to show how your input and knowledge can help make these collections even richer.

Awesome. Like I really needed another reason to spend more time on Flickr.
