Flickr commons

The State Library of New South Wales has joined Flickr commons http://www.flickr.com/commons. Have a look at look at the other participants here as well. As Flickr says The program has two main objectives:
1. To increase access to publicly-held photography collections, and
2. To provide a way for the general public to contribute information and knowledge. (Then watch what happens when they do!)

You can read about some of the images from the State Library on Flickr's blog http://blog.flickr.net/en/2008/09/29/australian-firsts-and-more-mappy-goodness/
