Flickr???
I had a little trouble finding the Library of Congress site which gave me a negative view. If photo identification is one reason to use it, that could be useful to VHS folks. If the VHS was to enter its photographs into that arena, we would get ourselves out there to the public. The old school thinking here at the VHS is proprietary but now that may have changed. At professional conferences, I have heard speakers urge institutions to just go ahead and put your images out there in WebLand. Some people may use them without crediting us but that would be rare and the good would outweigh the negative. We want people to know we are here and this is one good way.

This is a topic we struggle with regularly over here in Visual Services land. Every time we put an image online we are trusting the world not to abuse it. Of course, we have to be careful about the quality of image that we put out there. VHS images on the web are supposed to be no larger than 400 x 600 pixels at 72 dpi. That's pretty small in the grand scheme of things.
