Yesterday the Wellcome Library announced yesterday that they have made over 100,000 high resolution images of manuscripts, paintings, etchings, early photography, and advertisements available using a CC-BY license. The images are of really high quality and many great treasures in general to be found. See for some highlights the selection made by the Public Domain Review. The article says: This move by the Wellcome is yet another recent example of a hugely respected institution releasing digitisations of its public domain content under an open license ? with the last 6 months seeing The Getty and The British Library making similar moves. It?s a really promising sign of a more general shift toward opening up public domain content that we?ve seen taking place in the cultural sector over the last couple of years. Wonderful stuff!
