Thanks for the signal boost, @NonFictioness! @Wikipedia is now contributing to the process by asking people to upload images to @WikiCommons. See this link: …. Doing so will capture images, but also save the strained resources of our colleagues in Brazil.

We are also encouraging people to upload photos to @WikiCommons which has the infrastructure that can scale up to handle these images:

Thank you @Wikipedia + @WikiCommons for offering this support. This will no doubt take a big burden off our colleagues in Brazil, who are already dealing with so much. And it contributes immediately to the general fund of digital materials to help reconstruct Brazil's heritage.


I work for a major airline and have sent out the call on several employee sites. We are nothing if not well traveled and I sincerely hope my colleagues will respond.


Thank you for this! My father was a pilot, so you all are family. Thank you so much.


Hello @FlickrHelp, it wouldn’t be cool if you could message the users who took pictures at the museum.
