🥁 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: pdimagearchive.org/ @pdimagearchive

The Public Domain Review

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: pdimagearchive.org/galleries/a
ii) infinite view: for a visually immersive, 360° scrollable experience of the collection: pdimagearchive.org/infinite-vi
iii) shuffle view: a tool to easily summon images in a serendipitous manner. pdimagearchive.org/shuffle-vie
