Hi all

We're developing a website for a client and there are lots of historical figures (1500 to present day) referenced throughout in bibliographies and so on. 

What are the best places to look for images of these people that we can use on the site? Wikipedia Commons, obviously, but anywhere else?

https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/28201 might be useful. Also I believe the Freebase data dumps are likely to have some (though I am not sure how much).

Dan

cheers

Mike
