Based on picturing Canada

This page gives the example of the British Library and Wikimedia and the release of a collection of Canadian images.

Core messages:

Wikimedia was cooperating with the British Library

Releasing images to wikimedia Commons enabled:

1. Crowdsourcing of the cropping and rotation of images
2. The crowdsourcing of Metadata as Canadian editors categorised the images
3. Sharing an underused/forgotten archive with people who would be interested in it.
