(LOC)1 It seems that the Library of Congress is uploading photos to flickr. These are photos from the LOC Prints & Photographs Division. The photos have no known copyright and are downloadable at decent sizes (1024 x 768). There is some great stuff here for historical projects. So far they have about 3000 photos up (out of 14 million, that’s about 2%) and are supposed to be adding more. You can add descriptions, tags and notes to the pictures. The loc is crowdsourcing the photos to ease documentation. It’s a grand experiment.
