Announcing two brand new features for the site....



Curator's Choice


We are very excited to have launched last week a brand new series – 
“Curator’s Choice <http://publicdomainreview.org/curators-choice/>”. On 
the first Tuesday of each month we shall feature a special guest post 
from a gallery, library, archive or museum curator reflecting upon a 
group of works in one of their open <http://opendefinition.org/> digital 
collections – that is, public domain material which has had no 
restrictions placed on it as it’s been digitised and made available 
online. This new series aims to be a celebratory spotlight on both the 
institutions making the exciting steps of openly licensing their digital 
collections and also the curators that work everyday with such 
collections – as well, of course, as being a celebration of the content 
itself.

The inaugural post of the series from the British Library’s Phil 
Hatfield and Andrew Gray....
