In 2008, the Library of Congress began offering historical photograph collections through Flickr in order to share some of our most popular images with a new visual community. Now, the Library of Congress has expanded its Flickr collections to include illustrated and visual content from historic American newspapers available in its online collections.

The key goals of The Commons on Flickr are to firstly show you hidden treasures in the world's public photography archives, and secondly to show how your input and knowledge can help make these collections even richer.

FlickrPoet is part of Stories In Flight, an ongoing exploration of storytelling in the age of the Internet. Just enter a paragraph of text, a poem, some lyrics or even just a few random words and FlickrPoet will find matching photos on Flickr based on a search of tags, titles and descriptions of the photos. - You can re-run the search with other images by clicking "Show Story" again. - Poems and lyrics seem to work best, hence the title, but feel free to experiment. - Please let us know if you have suggestions on how to improve FlickrPoet.

Shwup is a great site for teachers and students to use in order to post and share pictures and videos on the web. You do need to sign up, but anyone who gets a log-in can be invited to share in creating a "muvee" with the images that their "friends" (classmates/colleagues) are sharing. This is a great way to do collaborative multimedia projects or keep pictures and videos in one place from an event that had more than one person taking footage/images. The videos can all be shareed on shwup and posted to blogs, Facebook and other social media sites. Fun, easy to operate, and very useful.
