Dear all
Has any Archives had experience with Wikimedia Commons? I've been asked to comment on the pros and cons of uploading our archival images onto the site but would like a bit of feedback from anyone who's done it before.
I'm interested in finding out the following:
1) Has it increased your repository's/organisation's profile in any measurable way?
2) Has it had an impact on revenue generation? It has been suggested that publicising the images in this way would increase reproduction requests, but is this the case in actuality?
3) Ease of use of the site and any other feedback.
Replies offsite would be most welcome.
Thank you
