Field Museum images on Flickr Commons

The Library's Photo Archives joined Flickr Commons in April 2009, inviting the public to help describe a selection of our historic photographs. The images from The Field Museum Photo Archives on the Flickr site include several historic expeditions, and several hundred World's Columbian Exposition images from the Library's Rare Book Room.  These images are made available for people to discover, comment on, share and use.

• Leave a comment or tag an image on The Commons if you can share information about it
• Share the image on your own website or blog
• Use the image for your own creative non-commercial work.

You can help by linking back to the image on Flickr when you share or use a Field Museum image that you found on The Flickr Commons site.
