Library of Congress Photos on Flickr

 I’m not sure how long this has been around but I discovered today that the Library of Congress has a flickr site.  How cool!

Offering historical photograph collections through Flickr gives the Library of Congress a welcome opportunity to share some of our most popular images with a new visual community.

We invite you to tag and comment on the photos, and we also welcome identifying information—many of these old photos came to us with scanty descriptions!

What is truly amazing: in just 2 days the LOC’s flickr set had over 1 million views and an amazing amount of tags added.
