Jayel sez, “Flickr staff Cris Stoddard has commented on the Indicommons blog that the Flickr Commons will double the number of participating institutions this year from 31 to 60 GLAMs (art galleries, libraries, archives, and museums) this year alone.
I believe that the Commons is Flickr’s singularly most important cultural contribution to the world. And it doubling in size means more of the world’s photographic heritage and history will be shared with its citizens.”
