Very cool! :) Thanks to Pearson Scott Foresman for the generous donation.

Might it not be worth having a separate template that said something
like 'This image was kindly donated by PSF' and had a link to a short
page on Commons just with some details about this? i.e. when they were
donated, how many in total, what exactly the collection consists of,
and a thankyou. I think pages like this are very useful for reference
years in the future.
Such a link could be added to existing PD template I guess.

Also, if you want to help but you're not so flash on the image
editing, please help by improving the image's descriptions/keywords
and placing them in appropriate articles or galleries. Also remember
Wiktionary when thinking about places to put these images!

Cary, maybe if you can get a list of all the image names (or all the
ones so far), we can create a page with a big table to check off as
the images get cleaned up, annotated and placed into articles?

Having great pictures is almost pointless if nobody knows about them
and nobody uses them. :)

cheers
Brianna
