Thanks to Anne, Elaine and Nivard for your thoughts on this. I've been looking at a few different packages and I think I'll go with Flickr. The main thing that encourages me is the number of large and reputable - illustrious even - museums, libraries etc that are using it. I'll piggyback on their assesments of its functionality and security. Thanks again.

Hi Robyn, I like Flickr, as well, but doesn't it have a limit to the number of photos you are able to upload unless you pay for the service ? Not sure, but this was my experience in the past !
