The next press release, due to go out tomorrow
evening, will be about
a donation of images from the Mary Rose Trust:

Please help! If this goes down well in the media, then it will be a
great precedent for getting more organizations to make their content
available by Wikimedia websites.
You mention the Tropenmuseum; there's more than just the image
donation
there. They're providing high-resolution images and Wikimedia
volunteers
are carrying out the costly, time-intensive process of digitally
restoring them.
The Mary Rose pics won't need restored, but Commons offers some
interesting "services" to museums.
Durova's already done what she can with the image in the release at
the moment. If you can figure out how to best add a mention of
digital restorations, please do...
