"To celebrate our 1st Anniversary as a participating institution on The Commons on Flickr we are posting a set of Eugène Atget photographs. Special thanks to George Oates, the team at Flickr, and the Flickr users who make sharing photographs so much fun!"

Back in June of 2007, we began our first collaboration with a civic institution to facilitate giving people a voice in describing the content of a publicly-held photography collection. The key goals of this pilot project are to firstly give you a taste of the hidden treasures in the huge Library of Congress collection, and secondly to how your input of a tag or two can make the collection even richer. You're invited to help describe photographs in the Library of Congress' collection on Flickr, by adding tags or leaving comments.*

"A love of travel inspires so many photos on Flickr that we hope you'll enjoy taking a century-old "grand tour." Our Photochrom Print Collection shows Europe, the Middle East, and Canada as they appeared around 1890-1900."

Included here are excerpts of films from the State Archives of Florida's film and video collection. The collection contains approximately 7,000 movies and video tapes. Short clips from some of these moving images have been placed on Flickr Commons.

Initial collection is 16 sets containing approximately 1200 photos from the New York City Public Library.
