Thousands of amazing Hi-Res pics free to use

A growing number of academic institutions are making their image databases available for general use under Creative Common licenses. The Wellcome Library is the latest addition to this lot. And what an addition it is! The London-based Wellcome Institute specializes in the history of public health and its library hosts a fantastic collection of books and other historic materials, spanning over a thousand years. Be like this flea and start jumping through their books by clicking here.

Pic: Micrographia, published in 1665 (Wellcome Library, EPB/C 29309/C). More about this item here. Read more about the Creative Commons move of the library here.
