The current issue of "The Week In Germany" includes information on the German Federal Archives combining with Wikipedia. The background information is at < http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/usa/en/__PR/GIC/2008/12/09__Bundesarchiv__Wikipedia__S.html > where the first two paragraphs are: "Germany's Federal Archive will provide about 100,000 images from its collections to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia free of charge. "The Federal Archive, which maintains a collection of around 11 million images from German history, signed a cooperation agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation to put the pictures online in the Wikimedia Commons, an online repository of free images." djweber djwdjw@ix.netcom.com
