The Library of Congress has begun uploading photos to Flickr, the popular photo sharing website. This move brings a measure of credibility to Flickr and takes some of the “stuffiness” out of the Library of Congress.

The current collections available include news photographs from the 1910s and goverment-sponsored photographs of the U.S. from the 1930’s and 1940’s.
