UBC Library Digital Collections

About

UBC Library Digital Collections represents many of the locally-created digital collections developed and maintained by the University of British Columbia Library. Collectively they document a diverse range of people and places, activities and events, and serve as a resource for students, historians, genealogists, and other researchers.

The Commons on Flickr

UBC Library’s Digitization Centre contributes digitized photographs, illustrations, paintings and other materials to The Commons on Flickr.

The Commons has two main objectives:

  1. To increase access to publicly-held photography collections, and
  2. To provide a way for the general public to contribute information and knowledge.

All images shared on The Commons are in the public domain, or UBC Library owns the copyright and is willing to make the images available for research, educational and personal use with the request that the Library be credited as their source. If you are interested in commercial use of our images, please contact us at digital.initiatives[at]ubc.ca.

 

Please see the UBC Digital Collections Withdrawal policy, below, if you have information about right holders of which the UBC Library is unaware.
