Find Something in ‘Common’ from USA Today caught my attention yesterday. The article discusses how Flickr and the Library of Congress as well as other historical institutions have joined forces to post pictures as a means of allowing the photo-sharing community to play “detective.” The implications are vast as there are thousands upon thousands of unidentified historical photographs which would benefit from further identification. When I was thinking about the positive ramifications of such an alliance, Holocaust survivor photos seemed to be the perfect match. There could be, this many years later, connections made between survivor families, if not among survivors themselves. What a positive benefit of the Internet today.
