Commons on Flickr: an interview with one of our Flickr friends, Bob Meade (part one) - 0 views

Bettina Minder on 14 Aug 09Bob Meade has been one of our most prolific 'friends' on Flickr. He has done an enormous amount of tagging, added a great deal of additional research to our images, and was the man behind the discovery of the Mosman Bay Falls. Paula Bray (the Museum's Image Services Manager) and I conducted a long face to face interview with Bob who very generously agreed to speak to us about his background and motivations. It was an incredibly revealing interview that demonstrates the power of museums and cultural institutions opening up their collections to 'amateur' researchers and enthusiasts.
