The British Museum has revamped its online collections database, making over 1.9 million photos of its collection available for free online under a Creative Commons license.

Under the new agreement the majority of the 1.9 million images are being made available for anyone to use for free under a Creative Commons 4.0 license. Users no longer need to register to use these photographs, and can now download them directly from the British Museum.

Under the terms of the Creative Commons license, you are free to share and adapt the images for non-commercial use, but must include a credit to the British Museum.

    Interesting - did a few searches and it takes a very long time for the images to show up as either thumb nails or in the full version once clicked on, so long I thought maybe I'd searched something they hadn't uploaded yet. They are very high quality once through, just need a little patience. (on 100MB FTTP, AussieBB).

      Maybe it got OzB'd… I was just thinking how well it works, and I was recently in a tender process to select such an application. One of the finalists was Recollect (http://www.micrographics.co.nz/recollect/), and another was NetX (https://www.netx.net/). Neither of which I thought were was responsive.

        You're absolutely right. Just tried it again and it's instant.

    Downloading images - yes. Downloading items? I'm not sure the NBN was built with big enough pipes.
