Images from digital collections at the University of Delaware Library are now available on Flickr.  Flickr is an application that allows for the sharing of images and building of communities over the Internet.

    Currently, representative selections from the George Handy Bates Samoan Papers Photographs and the Willard Stewart WPA & HABS Photographs collections are available. A library user can view the Library's Flickr site at [http://www.flickr.com/photos/uofdlibrary/].

    The project was implemented under the direction of Jaime Margalotti, Assistant Librarian, Special Collections Department.
