200 Iconic Jazz Images Added to the Library of Congress Flickr Stream

From the Announcement:

Equipped with a bulky Speed Graphic camera, [William] Gottlieb, a young columnist for the Washington Post and later a writer for Down Beat magazine, photographed jazz musicians and performers, capturing classic images that are well-known today. Gottlieb photographed the jazz greats from 1938 to 1948.

A set of these iconic images, part of the Library of Congress William P. Gottlieb Collection, has been uploaded to Flickr, the image and video hosting website at this location. The Library of Congress will continue to add more photos each month, until all 1,600 from the collection are included.

The initial 200 [219 to be precise] images show the photographs alongside Gottlieb’s personal recollections that were published in his book "The Golden Age of Jazz." The Music Division has loaded the original, un-cropped photographs on Flickr. Gottlieb’s cropped versions of the images can be viewed in the Library’s Performing Arts Encyclopedia, giving viewers a unique insight into Gottlieb’s creative process.

The photographs in the Library’s William P. Gottlieb Collection entered into the public domain on Feb. 16, 2010, in accordance with Gottlieb’s wishes. Gottlieb died at age 89 in 2006. Although copyright restrictions are lifted, rights of privacy and publicity may apply. Users of photographs in the Gottlieb collection are responsible for clearing any privacy or publicity rights associated with the use of the images.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
