We invite you to tag and comment on the photos, and we also welcome identifying information—many of these old photos came to us with scanty descriptions!
To view the photos on Flickr, go to: You do not need a Flickr account to view the images; you would need to sign up for a free account to add comments or tags. We are offering sets of digitized photos: the 1,600 color images from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, 1,500+ images from the George Grantham Bain News Service, selected panoramic photographs, portraits of jazz musicians and personalities by William P. We launched the pilot in January 2008. For more information: Hennepin County Library's Photostream. Emory University on iTunes U.
