Flickring Digital Archives

Flickr's The Commons is a quiet revolution in digital media. Various government and private museums and archives from around the world have agreed to publish their photos to flickr and make them available to The Commons. You can download several sizes of some very famous photographs. You can link to them and email them to friends. One feature that appears lacking from all entities is the ability to embed. If that ability existed then I would have embedded one of those famous photos myself on this blog.
