Yes I saw that and applauded too. Went on a quick Google search to see if
Canadian museums have anything similar (as I've encountered challenges in
Public Domain use in the past but it was some time ago.)
Found an interesting Michael Geist article from 2007 that talks about the
challenges of using Public Domain images stored in museums and educational
institutions in Canada -
but nothing
more current yet - does anyone on this listserv know how Public Domain
images are shared in public educational archieves, museums or whatever in
Canada currently?
