      I hope they don't ever take it OFF flickr. I think the really interesting thing here is the idea of creating a permement, open, free online compendium to history.
  • To gain a better understanding of how social
    tagging and community input could benefit
    both the Library and users of the collections
  • To gain experience participating in Web
    communities that are interested in the kinds
    of materials in the Library’s collections.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • We placed only one tag
    ("Library of
    Congress") and two machine tags on each
    photo when we loaded them. Any other tags you
    see were added by the community; we are generally
    not controlling the content of Flickr tags,
    notes and comments, but we reserve the right
    to remove added content for any reason.
  • please contribute your own tags,
    comments, and identifying information.

    Interesting use of "social tagging" as a method to manage and categorize historical data.
