Today marks five years since the launch of the Flickr Commons with two photo collections from the Library of Congress. Since then, more than 250,000 photographs with no known copyright restrictions have been contributed by 56 libraries, archives and museums worldwide, with new images added each week.
The Library’s blog, Picture This: Library of Congress Prints and Photos, celebrates this milestone with today’s post highlighting Flickr Commons contributors’ most viewed or interesting photos and other tidbits from the project.
Happy birthday Flickr Commons!
