Flickr: The Commons
Flickr: The Commons aims to increase access to photography archives. The program was launched with almost 5,000 images from the Library of Congress.
The Brooklyn Museum has also contributed images of historical architecture from the archive of William Henry Goodyear, architectural historian and curator. The collection includes hand-colored lantern slides documenting Egypt at the turn of the nineteenth century, the Paris Exposition, and the World’s Fair in Chicago.
