September 30th 2008
This autumn, the National Archive is diving headlong into experiment as the first Dutch heritage institution to join Flickr The Commons, a project intitiated by the US Library of Congress and international photo-sharing website Flickr.
Parts of the special collection ‘Labour Inspectorate’, digitized in the Images for the Future framework, will be placed onto the Flickr The Commons website. Users will be invited to add tags and comments to the photos. Part of the same collection is also on display at the Rotterdam Kunsthal (‘Art Hall’) until 23rd November, for the exhibition ‘Girls in the Factory’ (Meisjes van de Fabriek). On the 4th November, there is also a seminar about the value of social tagging, with among others, delegates from Flickr and the National Maritime Museum.
