Check out this post on the Library of Congress blog. LC is now using Flickr to post images.
If all goes according to plan, the project will help address at least two major challenges: how to ensure better and better access to our collections, and how to ensure that we have the best possible information about those collections for the benefit of researchers and posterity.
You can find their Flickr account here. I am enrolled in a class on copyright this semester and I was especially interested to note that LC will "include only images for which no copyright restrictions are known to exist."
And as the blog poster wrote the really exciting part will be when people begin tagging the photographs! See "The Commons" for more information.
