National Library of New Zealand joins the Flickr Commons

Normally I stick to Radio Control related stuff on this blog, but this news intersects so many areas of my interest that I can't help but post it.

The National Library of New Zealand is the sixteenth institution to join
the Flickr Commons
. The National Library's photostream currently
contains 120 photographs, although most seem to be uploaded at a
depressingly small resolution, it's still awesome to see some of our
nations greatest photography freed from the clutches of copyright
law
, and uploaded to the Commons.

The National Library also has another Flickr account containing some
great photos which are still copyright encumbered.
