@janeatcc, Brooklyn Museum is potentially a new provider for sprint 2.

A lot of 404s in the links above, but generally I can say that BM has a solid (c) policy. I have no issues with including them. They should have 100k+ images in their total collection -- more now since that was our last count from 2016.

From my slideshare (https://www.slideshare.net/janeatcc/cc-cultural-heritage) (last update 2016):

CC BY for images and text owned by museum; PD for PD works

• The Brooklyn Museum.
• The BM actually has a very interesting story behind its use of CC. BM’s mission has always been about growing community and visitor experience, so back in 2004 they wanted to extend that to their online presence. They decided to add the most restrictive CC license to images and text they owned on their website to encourage user engagement. They had a great experience, so in 2010, they decided to allow derivatives by moving to CC BY-NC. Having a further great experience, they moved to the most open license, CC BY.
• At the same time, BM had a vast collection of images of public domain works. They were going through the process of identifying the rights of each object in these images, and they opted to license the images under the default CC license policy for their website – which eventually became CC BY.
• Today, more than 10 years later, their entire website and the images therein are licensed CC BY, including the descriptive text for the images. And where the object contained in the image is in the public domain, they have identified that the image itself is also under “no known copyright restrictions” – in line with their contributions to Flickr Commons.

They should have 100K plus images in their online collection.
