sharing labor images

Here's another little project I've been working on lately (though perhaps not worthy of front page treatment at this point) - I'm polishing off a BA in Labor Studies at UMass at the ripe age of 49 and as part of my "senior project" I'm working on three proposed Drupal installations.

The first two will be used to store and index PDF archives of Labor Notes and The Labor Page (its Boston equivalent, presently in hibernation).

The third site is a bit more interesting. I'd like to help set up a central respository for people to share links to online labor images, including any known copyright info, for use in (primarily) web sites and multimedia.

I've made an attempt at creating - well, mostly stealing - a taxonomy for sorting contributed images. I'd be interested to hear what CoDers think of the format and of the project in general.

At the Labor Notes conference, there was discussion of using flickr.com as a repository for labor images. But I see that they're a subsidiary of Yahoo, which makes me wonder if the service is going to be free forever.
