Hi GLAMmers,
The target of uploading 100,000 high resolution historical images from the Wellcome Library to Wikimedia Commons was hit last month and there is a Foundation blog post telling the story of out today. See the above link.
It is a great collection to illustrate not just medical history, but ancient history, British cartoons, Chinese history, religions and many others. In terms of quality and range, it is one of the most prestigious collections of high quality scanned drawings, painting and photographs on Wikimedia Commons. As a case study for other GLAMs, the interesting news is that the project costs were almost *zero* as the upload of 300 GB of images ran from my home laptop from a USB hard disk that the Wellcome Library kindly posted to me. :-)
I have pinned a suggested tweet at http://twitter.com/Faewik, and there are share buttons at the bottom of the blog post too if you wish to help promote the free collection on twitter or Facebook.
