That is a noble project, and if you stick to public domain or GFDL pictures, it will be much nobler still. Please familiarize yourself with the wealth of image resources listed under

I think Jimbo's suggestion of a free photo resource site is great. It could work pretty much like the GIMP photo archive
http://gimp-savvy.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVE/
with a wiki-edited set of keywords for each photo, except it should allow uploading of course, and needs to keep track of the license (or lack thereof) and origin of each photo. Initially, we could seed the database with all the photos from the public domain sources. Could be a bit resource hungry though.
