State Library of NSW now on Flickr

The State Library of New South Wales are now using Flickr and more specifically the Flickr Commons which deals with photographs that have 'no known copyright restrictions'. With the announcement on the Flick Blog who could be better to announce it other than our Aussie at Flickr George Oates. This puts the State Library of New South Wales as the 2nd Australian site of only 10 participants in the Flickr Commons thus far along with the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney and to sit along side the likes of the Smithsonian and US Library of Congress is great to see and here's hoping many more Australian archives start using Flickr to make available such a treasure trove of Australian history available to all.

Update: A slideshow is now available after the jump.
