Did you know that the Library of Congress has posted thousands of historical images on Flickr? It is a fantastic way to find images for our customers and an amazing resource.
My particular favorite is an image of a working woman in a 1942 aircraft assembly plant. Not only is it a beautiful image but users have added notes and there are tons of comments. I think this is an excellent way to expose people to history.
I do have some concerns about the proprietary nature of Flickr. Does Yahoo own everything posted there and what happens if Yahoo goes out of business?
