Interesting the emphasis on Wikimedia Commons and no mention of the Internet
Archive. Is that because the former is simply more familiar when we are talking
about image-only collections (granted, the bulk of what is out there, and the
only medium usefully addressed by flickr)?

Flickr entirely (even deleting their content and account) and moved over to

Internet Archive is fabulous, but often text, video and audio based.
And whatever ends up on Internet Archive is often sucked onto Wikimedia
Commons, too.

We also have WikiSource - which makes OCR look funny once you see how that
process works on WS: https://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page

Hi Ellice,
there's quite some literature on the subject from a few years back - see
the list below. Main advantage of using Flickr over other social media
sites is their policy of licenses: you can clearly indicate under what
license the material is available - unless you take part in the Flickr

Hi everyone,
That is a very interesting topic indeed.
I actually got a question while reading your emails: why Flickr for your
collections, instead of let's say Pinterest or Instagram? Especially if you
want people to share and interact with them?
Thanks for your answers!

Hi Ellice:
A number of institutions I've worked with use Flickr for their online
presence. In fact, when I was at Balboa Park, we worked with John Fox (of
MemoryMiner) to develop a tool to help museums and archives put their
materials and metadata onto Flickr: www.sammu.org (Mac only, I'm afraid).

I'm wondering how other LAMs use Flickr with their digital collections. Does
anyone use Flickr in lieu of a collections site? Does anyone upload all newly
digitized collections images (and metadata) both to a collections website *and*
to Flickr? I'm guessing most folks use Flickr to
g" individuals and information. We haven't worked
out the specifics and the details, but that's the general idea.
