The Commons

The Library of Congress has teamed up with Flickr to create The Commons.  This is a new area in Flickr for public collections of photographs.

The LOC has added two sets (1930s-40s in Color & News in the 1910s) with a total of more than 3100 pictures.   The idea behind The Commons is to let the public tag photos and add comments.  Many of the photos do not have location information or the names of the people in the photos.  The Flickr community can make these collections of public photos even better.
