Flickr

Exploring

I searched for Bury St. Edmunds, my home town, and found 19,833 results! Here is a sample (credits for photos go to Martin Pettitt):

I like the National Library of Scotland's photostream to illustrate what they have in their archive, and the mystery photos from the Library of Congress is a fascinating way to identify parts of their collection! I wonder if people do this to try and identify faces in old family photos...

Creating

I'm very keen on the idea of creating a virtual tour of the Library using Flickr, as mentioned in the How to make Flickr work for your Library blog. I've created an account and started to upload some pictures of the Education Library. This is going to be my summer project!
