Toronto Archives Launch a Flickr Site

Finally!

There's a lot of great material in the Toronto Archives, but the organization's online database, even with its improved search interface, still feels like a relic. The Archives' new Flickr page makes searching for and sorting images easier, and more intuitive.

With more than 1.2 million photographs in its collection, it would be great if the Archives could upload everything to Flickr. Unfortunately, copyright issues will probably end up killing that prospect.
