Please help! If this goes down well in the media, then it will be a great precedent for getting more organizations to make their content available by Wikimedia websites.
You mention the Tropenmuseum; there's more than just the image donation there. They're providing high-resolution images and Wikimedia volunteers are carrying out the costly, time-intensive process of digitally restoring them.
The Mary Rose pics won't need restored, but Commons offers some interesting "services" to museums.
