• National Library of Wales have said they will not claim copyright on items that are out of copyright. They are the only one of the three Welsh bodies who volunteered to experiment with publishing images freely. They have volunteered to help with experimenting to bulk load images into commons. They are enthusiastic supporters of Wiki. Victuallers (talk) 20:27, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
