Hi all,
Just in case you missed it, Sydney's Powerhouse Museum is now taking part in Flickr's "The Commons" thing, following the Library of Congress's suit.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/
They plan to release 50 new ones each week. This seems like a manageable stream. Also: yay, geotagging.http://www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/map/
on Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Powerhouse_Museum_PD_images
There are really some wonderful Australian historical images: daily life, architecture, people, places and even animals (baby emus!). I mean baby emus today are probably the same as baby emus 100 years ago, but still, not exactly an everyday photograph being uploaded by the dozen.
I would love to see some juxtapositions of some of the buildings/streets of Sydney. If anyone in Sydney tries to "recreate" any of these images and put them side by side, let me know. I think it would be really cool to see.
cheers, Brianna
Just for the record, the Powerhouse Museum has created a group on Flickr for people to post their photographs of places seen in the Tyrrell Collection (the collection with the old PD images being put online). It is called "Tyrrell Today", and while there are few members there are already four very nice photographs, one under a Commons-compatible license. They seem to be actively searching for images of Sydney today and inviting their authors to post them to the group.

Oh, awesome.
Question: How should we tag images that come from Flickr's "The Commons"? Flickr calls them "No known copyright restrictions".
PD-old?
Should the ones from LOC go to PD-old, and Powerhouse Museum to PD-Australia?
Or should we create a new "no known copyright restrictions"? I tend to think not, unless we restrict to only images from institutional sources (or even just Flickr's "The Commons").

Flinfo ( [[User:Flominator/Flinfo]] ) currently uses {{PD-Bain}}, {{PD-USGov-FSA}} and {{LOC-image}} for the LOC pictures.
Or should we create a new "no known copyright restrictions"? I tend to think not, unless we restrict to only images from institutional sources (or even just Flickr's "The Commons").
I'd say either {{PD-Powerhouse}} or {{PD-Australia}}. Tell me how and I will implement it.
Best regards,
Flo

{{LOC-image}} is not a copyright tag.

My mistake: ( {{PD-Bain}} OR {{PD-USGov-FSA}} ) AND {{LOC-image}}

And mine (http://tools.wikimedia.org/~bryan/flickr/upload) has a license selector when a license 7 "No Known Restrictions" image is uploaded with as choices PD-Old, PD-US and PD-Australia.
