My contacts at LACMA have all left the organization. I'm going to be
meeting with some folks from the Getty this weekend, and in a few more
weeks in Pasadena. I might see who would be a good contact to ping at
LACMA through them.
Thanks Pete for sharing this.

Hi all,
[[User:Tedder]] pointed out to me that the Los Angeles County Museum of Art has recently
expanded the number of images it serves up free on its web site, that it believes are in
the public domain, from a 2000 file experiment launched two years ago to now almost 20,000
files.

Is anybody in our world working with them? A mass upload (either in partnership or
independently) seems like a good idea. In addition, their TOU indicates that they attach
an NC provision to reuse of files to which they hold copyright; so there might be an
opportunity for some anti-NC advocacy there as well.
