A note of caution: this material isn't really suitable for being dumped en masse into Commons just now. as it won't have much metadata beyond "an image, unidentified, from a book on subject X". See https://www.flickr.com/photos/internetarchivebookimages/14595431897/ for an example of what the automated labelling is like. It's certainly useful to keep an eye on, but we'll need to hold off until some of the identification work has been done :-)
We went through this with a similar collection from the British Library - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:British_Library/Mechanical_Curato... - which is slowly being migrated, bit by bit.

Thanks, Gerard!
This seems like a great idea.
I believe that Liam Wyatt and Andrew Lih are reaching out to the project leader, to see if he needs help uploading some of that content to Commons.
Music to my ears :)
