Flickr launches The Commons, a collaboration with the Library of Congress. They have posted 1500+ pictures from the FSA Archives, and the Bain News Service, which features news photos from the 1910’s.

The goal of the project is to crowdsource metadata about the individual images, but beyond that nobel effort, the pictures are just great. Enjoy!
