Flickr Commons

The National Library of Wales joined the Flickr Commons in 2009 in order to encourage the use and description of our image collections.

The Library's images within The Commons have no known copyright restrictions; this means that The National Library of Wales is not aware of any current copyright restrictions on the photographs, usually because the Library owns the copyright or the term of copyright has expired.

If you are interested in high-quality reproductions, or commercial re-use of these images please contact the enquiries team.
