You mention the Tropenmuseum; there's more than just the image donation there. They're providing high-resolution images and Wikimedia volunteers are carrying out the costly, time-intensive process of digitally restoring them. The Mary Rose pics won't need restored, but Commons offers some interesting "services" to museums. -- Brian McNeil <brian.mcn...@wikinewsie.org> Wikinewsie.org
