This past week, Flickr launched The Commons, a place for public-domain photos and the public's chance to help make those photos findable by the rest of the world. Flickr says:

You're invited to help describe photographs in the Library of Congress' collection on Flickr, by adding tags or leaving comments.

This is an amazing opportunity to be a part of making historical photos accessible to the masses. Browse the LOC's collection here and start tagging! (What are tags?)
