Powerhouse Museum joins The Commons on Flickr

The Powerhouse Museum, Sydney, Australia, is the first museum in the world to release publicly-held historical photographs for access on Flickr. The Museum joins the world's largest photo library, the US Library of Congress, which released its first photos for public access on Flickr in January this year. Known as The Commons on Flickr, the online initiative was launched by Flickr to share the collections of cultural institutions worldwide and to make historical photos more widely accessible to a global community
