The Boston Public Library has been developing a pretty amazing and eclectic photo gallery up on flickr, all stuff scanned from their archives and special collections.
I’m partial to the Travel Poster collection. There’s also impressive Match Cover and Stereograph sets.
It’s a pretty extensive (almost 17 000 items) example of a library using popular social media software to push out parts of collections normally inaccessible to the average library visitor.
Also, it’s just plain neat.
