I noticed you are using a bot to upload these? are you grabbing them
from the SLQ website or do you have local file versions of these,
because if its the latter we could just get them archived up and get
them bulk uploaded by one of the system admins.

We have a local copy in Brisbane and Armidale.  The metadata is in a
static XML file.

Wow, what a great partnership, congratulations! That's wonderful.

Good timing, too ;)

I look forward to hearing more about the collection.

 Hi,

 I am pleased to announce that the State Library of Queensland has
 donated 50,000 public domain jpeg images to Wikimedia Australia, and
 we are currently in the process of uploading them.

 We are still in the process of launching everything.  The central page
 for documenting and discussing it is here:

 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:State_Library_of_Queensland

 To get a feel for the people at the library behind this effort, and
 the library sector here in Australia, I recommend reading this paper
 written by Margaret Warren, who is one of the key people we have been
 working with at the library.

 http://www.nsla.org.au/publications/papers/2010/pdf/NSLA.Discussion-Paper-20100809-Public.domain.material.in.Collections.pdf

 We will be running new banners every day, and Wikimedians are welcome
 to create their own banners and we'll run the best ones.  The banners
 need to use the SLQ images, and be 3000px by 150-180px.
