One Million Images: PictureAustralia Database Reaches Milestone
From the announcement, “The millionth PictureAustralia image, which comes from the Australian War Memorial’s collection, is that of heroic Australian army nurse Vivian Bullwinkel, the sole survivor of the Banka (Sumatra) massacre of World War II. PictureAustralia, a collaborative Internet-based service hosted by the National Library, allows users to search the online pictorial collections of many cultural agencies from the one website. The service commenced in 1998 with five participating organisations and 470,000 images; it has grown to 34 organisations and one million images.”
