the Flickr Commons group icon Flickr Commons

Launched a little over a year ago, Flickr Commons is a remarkable project in which a number of cultural institutions from around the globe contribute photostreams to Flickr. It was begun by the Library of Congress, but now includes the Smithsonian Institution, the George Eastman House, the Brooklyn Museum as well as other libraries and museums from as far away as Australia, New Zealand and Scotland.

In an effort to promote it, Anna Graf launched a Flickr Commons group. Members can access images from the commons, tag them, share them with other Flickr members and create photo sets.

And now, a new blog called Indicommons has been launched to further enhance the sharing of images on Flickr Commons.
