Is this a duplicate of #72?

[nabsiddiqui]

Sorry I wrote the title wrong. No it isn't a duplicate. These are images by the US National Archives. They are also on Flickr. I don't know if I can change the title. Can you change it or recreate the issue with the correct title? I'm not at my computer.

[davanstrien]

I've updated the title, think you should also be able to modify it if needed.

@davanstrien Can you add this to the project board so I can claim it and upload it? I have the images and metadata downloaded and cleaned now: https://github.com/orgs/bigscience-workshop/projects/8/views/1?query=is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc

Ok I have uploaded this now.

Thanks for working on this. Would you be able to add a little bit of documentation describing the dataset. Writing a full datacard would be great but even a high level summary of the data would be great so other people know what the data is, how to use it and potential biases and limitations in the collection.

Yes I will add some information, but this is the first week of class, so I don't know when I will be able to get to it. Hopefully by next week.
