U.S. Library of Congress ‘Crowdsourcing’ Pandemic Pix
« on: September 11, 2020, 06:20:00 pm »

The U.S. Library of Congress is soliciting photographs depicting the experience of the pandemic in the United States for its permanent collection via a group on Flickr.

No doubt they'll get a lot of sludge, but their curators apparently think they will be able to collect some images that wouldn't otherwise be able to the Library.

(For those of you unfamiliar with the Library of Congress, it is one of three principal federal repositories of the documentary history of the United States―the others being the National Archives, which aggregates information from government agencies, and the Smithsonian Institution, the parent organization of a number of government-operated museums.)

The Library of Congress has a group on Flickr as well.  You can upload your Covid pictures if you have an account on Flickr.

Here's how you post.
