Library of Congress on Flickr!
One of the worlds largest libraries has decided to partner up with Flickr to share some of its treasures with the rest of the world.
Browse photos in this collection that is a collaboration between the Library of Congress and the online photo management and sharing application Flickr. Users are invited to view photos and help describe the photos by adding tags and comments. Free account required to comment or tag photos. Initial photo sets include "1930s-40s in Color" (with photos from the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information) and "News in the 1910s."
Librarians Internet Index week of January 28, 2008
Why should you know about this? Because you no longer have to travel to Washington, DC to see images related to the history of the United States. It's a unique partnership that will hopefully open doors for other institutions to share their treasures with the rest of us.

You can take a look at this page to see some of the different areas new materials are arriving in.
You can also suggest new materials that the library should purchase on this page or through any of the staff.
