[OpenGLAM] British Library Release A Million Public Domain Images and Metadata

[Rob Myers]

"The British Library has uploaded one million public domain scans from
17th-19th century books to Flickr! They're embarking on an ambitious
programme to crowdsource novel uses and navigation tools for the huge
corpus. Already, the manifest of image descriptions is available through
Github. This is a remarkable, public spirited, archival project, and the
British Library is to be loudly applauded for it! "
