This is great. While working on a NYC history project awhile back, I made a KML tool to map out the 6000 photos in the New York Public Library online collection, and it looks like that work is being croudsourced again here. My only concern is rights issues; the libraries that most of these images come from tend to be very picky about usage fees.

How do they account for photoshopped-submissions? (I assume some human somewhere reviews submissions?)
