Slog - Comments on The Library of Congress Flickr Stream Is Mighty Fine http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/the_library_of_congress_flickr_stream_is The Library of Congress is putting all of its public domain photographs on Flickr. The Prints & Photographs Division takes care of 14 million of the Library's pictures and features more than 1 million through online catalogs. Offering historical photo collections through Flickr is a welcome opportunity to share some of our most popular images more widely. As of right now, their account features 3,215 photographs. They want people to go in and tag things, provide historical information, and just participate in a historical group/think. There's tons of cool ones, like: German Scientist with a Detective Camera View Near Baden...

I like it better because they update it 10+ times a day.

That may be my favorite caption of 2008.
