   🥁 Announcing the Public Domain Image Archive! 🥁

   We are very excited to share our new sister-project, the Public Domain Image Archive (PDIA), a curated collection of more than 10,000 out-of-copyright historical images, all free to explore and reuse.

   Our aim is to offer a platform that will serve both as a practical resource and a place to simply wander — an ever-growing portal to discover more than 2000 years of visual culture.

   Start exploring here: https://pdimagearchive.org/ @pdimagearchive

     We intend the archive to be a place of discovery, and to this end have developed various “views” to aid exploration:
     i) catalogue view: to search and browse by theme, style, date, and more: https://pdimagearchive.org/galleries/all/random/desc
     ii) infinite view: for a visually immersive, 360° scrollable experience of the collection: https://pdimagearchive.org/infinite-view/
     iii) shuffle view: a tool to easily summon images in a serendipitous manner. https://pdimagearchive.org/shuffle-view/

     @publicdomainrev @pdimagearchive Looks very cool! I'm curious about the underlying software you're using for the platform. Is it something you've acquired, or something you've developed?

     The infinite view is amazing. It is like exploring the "humiverse". 💕
     The catalogue view is great for getting the context through the titles and notes.
     Great project! Thanks so much for it. 🙏🏼
