I was browsing on Flickr and saw that the Library of Congress has uploaded many historical photos to Flickr, making them available to the public to download and use on the web, while retaining the original copyrighted material. I'm not sure exactly how they legally do this, but I think that it is a GREAT thing to make these wonderful photos public. They have about 1,600 from the Depression that they have just uploaded and also include this portrait of Abraham Lincoln.[Abraham Lincoln, candidate for U.S. president. Half-length portrait, seated, facing front] (LOC)
