I have a collection of >500k historic transport photographs which I have collected over the past 25 years. Some my own, some are old photographs dating back to 1900 or earlier. All are categorised / tagged.

It concerns me what will happen to them when I am gone. At the moment I have a web site where they are hosted but I don't expect my children to be able to admin that once I am no longer here.

I would be more than happy to donate it all to Flickr Commons.

If you want them kept for posterity, upload them to (archive.org)[https://archive.org/]

Just create an account and upload them. Create a collection called `historic transport photographs` and they will live on.

I would recommend Wikimedia Commons for pictures with expired copyright (taken before 1927).

And of course, it's possible to upload your own under open license, if you want to preserve them in that way. The most common is Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike.

If you reach out to [e-mail], they will assist you with coordinating logistics of donating your digital corpus to them, if interested (it can be as simple as shipping them a USB hard drive or two). Their team can ensure each artifact has an item created for it, with the metadata you have curated.

Sounds cool. Link?
