The Flickr Commons was created as a way to make publicly held photography collections more accessible, providing global users with access to Creative Commons licenses and a platform to share their own photos.
Additionally, regular updates from member catalogs and other sources are propagated through the program. With this, the general public has a way to contribute information and knowledge, helping preserve these unique collections for years to come.
