  • 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.
  • 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.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • please contribute your own tags, comments, and identifying information.
