Hello Australian and GLAMtools lists, I read today on the Creative Commons Australia blog that CSIRIO's ScienceImage library has been re-licensed to CC-BY: http://creativecommons.org.au/blog/2014/04/csiro-releases-scienceimage-archi... non-Australians CSIRO is our national science/research institute].
This is a fabulous series of images, nearly all of which are useful in WP articles as they are taken for 'scientific' purposes which means they are easily usable as educational images. Take a look:

There's also over 500 documentary video files http://www.scienceimage.csiro.au/search/?tags=&keyword=&library=&...
Here are the subject areas they've divided things up into:

Could someone on the GLAMWikiToolset users see if you can neatly extract these files to mass upload them to Commons? Equally, we could try to contact CSIRO directly?
