For the first time ever, The State Library of Queensland has opened its vaults to give you a chance to make something new from Picture Queensland’s historical photograph collection. Copyright for these photographs has expired, so you are free to hack and mash them to your heart’s content.
This is an exciting opportunity for Queenslanders to have a voice, reinterpret history, say something social, political or just damn funny! The opportunities are endless, it’s really up to you.
Learn how to mash-up historic photographs from Picture Queensland with your own personal photos, or other freely available images found on the internet. What’s a photo-mash? Something like this…
“E. M. Land”. Photographer: Unidentified. Date: Undated.Location: Queensland, Australia
Or this…
Autographed photograph of the English batsmen, Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe, Brisbane, 1928. Photographer: Unidentified. Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Description: Hobbs and Sutcliffe were the opening batsmen for England in the cricket test match held in Brisbane in 1928.
