Old Lawley

there are over 1,100 images on Flickr with a tag of lawley , so I chose a couple of nice looking photos to to add to this blog,



Old Lawley shows some abandoned  stores in the town of Lawley, Alabama, while across the Atlantic there is a photo of Caer Caradoc Misty Farm, taken 'at the bottom of The Lawley' in Shropshire.

Apart form the pretty photos above,  there is also this one I've added - an image of Sir Arthur Lawley who was Governor of Western Australia from 1901 to 1902. It is from the Flickr site of the Library of Congress.
Digitisation of  libraries' historical & artifact collections and making them available online on sites such as flickr,  as the National Library of Australia  and Library of Congress are doing, is one of the really great ways libraries are using technology to improve access to their collections.

I also added a image from flickr to this blog's right hand column. Library, not lawley, related this image is for use ' in any pro-library or pro-librarian manner'. Came across  it via my facebook feed (which came via a friend which in turn came via Mylee Joseph's facebook page;  Mylee Joseph you will have noted, reading the credits on the WA Public Libraries Learning 2.0 Basics homepage, is one of the creators of the State Library of NSW's Public Libraries Learning 2.0 program - the program on which this is course is based).  The image can be downloaded from GeoShore's flickr page, and you can also buy it printed on a t-shirt.
