DIY History photo tagging and commenting on Flickr

We've added selected historic images from Iowa Digital Library to Flickr in order to share our materials with a wider audience, and to enhance them through input from the public.

You can help make these digitized artifacts more useful in two ways:

  • add comments, including information such as names, descriptions, locations, or general reactions
  • add tags, or keywords, to describe the images

This added text makes the items more searchable and easier to find.

While anyone can view our collections, Flickr requires registration to contribute tags or content. Please sign in with your Flickr account, or create one through your Yahoo!, Google, or Facebook account. For more information, see the Flickr sign-in FAQ page.

We're continually adding more content to Flickr, so please check back often!
