U.K. National Photo Album

NationalphotoalbumHewlett Packard has created a "National Photo Album" of the United Kingdom, in which any member of the public can upload photos to. The website says:

We are urging the nation to dust off its old photograph albums and rummage through its attics to help us create an album of the UK's most striking and interesting images.

The average household contains around 1,500 non-digital photographs - that's about 24 billion photos - so we are convinced that lurking out there in the nation's cellars and cupboards are thousands of pictures that have real social and cultural value.

We are after photos of individuals, families, workplaces, events, outings, cities, towns and villages; anything which reveals something of the way we have lived over the past hundred years or so.

For more information, look at the National Photo Album.
