The Wikimedia movement has a growing pool of volunteer editors who will do high quality restorations of historic photographs, lithographs, etc. as a courtesy for institutions who release bulk material to Wikimedia under a free license. Examples of some of these restorations are below.

This restoration was done in thanks to the University of Dresden library for their generous promise to donate a quarter million images directly to Wikimedia Commons. Left: Original version. Right: Restored version. Cropped, dirt and printer's mark removed, uneven ink application corrected, histogram adjusted and colors balanced. Selective denoising in sky.
