The National Library of New Zealand, 2009, Flickr: National Library of New Zealand's photostream, viewed 28th March 2010, http://www.flickr.com/photos/nationallibrarynz/
In June 2007 the National Library of New Zealand started a pilot to share their digitized copies of the photographs in the Alexander Turnball Library on Flickr. They hoped by sharing these images they could introduce a new audience to them. This Flickr page is authoritative as it is hosted by the National Library of New Zealand. As of today the National Library of New Zealand have 817 items/photos on their Flickr page. Their sets of photos include Sir Edmund Hillary, Japan 1900, Sport and Aviation. All the photographs that the National Library of New Zealand adds are posted under a ‘No known copyright restrictions’ license. This Flickr page is useful for anyone whether they are from New Zealand or not wanting to see what New Zealand’s past life such as their surf lifesaving to their old cars.

Execellent - a great site and a very good annotation. Please just provide a clickable link so we can access it directly from your blog post and then I can CP you.

ReplyDeleteBy scanning their photo archive into Flickr, not only can people examine the pictures without having to handle the originals, but it can also be accessed outside of the Library, which is good for quick or spontaneous research.
