We travel, you travel, they travel…

Yes, it’s that time of year when we pull out the virtual suitcases! The OSU Archives is taking a trip this summer via our Flickr Commons set “Take a Trip: Traveling and touring with the Visual Instruction Lantern Slides Collection,” and the bloggers at indicommons posted today on “Traveling Photography” from the New York Public Library’s “Japan / Kimbei Kusakabe” set.

And while you are there, also check out the set “Photochrom Travel View” from the Library of Congress and the jaunted.com blog post “Taking In Museums Through the Flickr Commons.”

Any other gems you’ve seen? Leave a comment and let us know!

For those of you who keep track of our traditional Flickr account (osu.archives), you may have noticed that we released a new collection of photographs on Friday.  Donated by OSU’s English Department, this new collection focuses on Moreland Hall.  First, we would like to thank the English Department for this Flickr specific donation.  Next, we would like to issue a call to other departments across campus for photographs of their department and facilities.  If you would like to have images from/of your department added to our account, it’s as easy as emailing us and submitting the images.  Let’s work together to document history as it happens with a new generation of building images and campus scenes.
