Library of Congress on Flickr

You should proceed as soon as possible to check out the Library of Congress’s page on flickr, as announced this morning.

It’s an awesome collection of about 3,000 images, of the quality you’d expect from the world’s largest library.Â It’s wonderful to see them available the same way we expect to share images with each other, sort of making history less of something living in a museum, and more of something available, relevant, and even sorted through tags.
