I’ve already written a post about Library of Congress online presence at Flickr. Now the Swedish National Heritage Board has uploaded 150 photographs to Flickr.
I find that this is a brilliant way of making cultural heritage significant. Beyond the few times a year I go to a museum I can’t say, that I experience being part of a rich cultural heritage.
Now images from my moblogging of daily routines and parties get remixed with 100 years old photographs previously just lying around in piles of dust in archives and museums. A bit harsh said but hope you bare with the exaggeration ;-)

When I first browsed through the Swedish National Heritage Boards images, I found some wonderful photographs taken by Carl Curman in the 1880’s. Curman also visited Denmark and Ørstedsparken in Copenhagen:

Two days later i passed the same spot Curman had captured in 1882, and I couldn’t resist myself:

I hope that more cultural heritage institutions will go online in Flickr.
