Mission
Our mission is to keep flickr pictures visible for 100 years. We are in the early stages of building out the technical and social infrastructures to underpin this mission, including an innovative tool called data lifeboat, designed to package up sets of flickr pictures for deposit elsewhere. We deployed a new discovery interface through which to enjoy and learn about our flagship program, flickr commons, and welcomed our first pair of research fellows to the group to study how the reproductive experience is represented in the flickr corpus.
Programs
3 programs
Flickr commons: we continue to reach out to our flickr commons institutional members and grow community; we have built a new commons explorer website, and created specifications for flickr api extensions which allow us to build tools to serve that community.
Creative archives: we enlisted a research fellow in this program to develop thinking around generated imagery and how the flickr dataset has transformed into infrastructure.
New curators: we enlisted a research fellow in this program to develop a workshop for community archiving using flickr as a medium.
