Having participated in a crowd image identification project I can
endorse the idea.
We had a donation of a few thousand negatives from a newspaper archive where
only a percentage had any writing on the envelope, we printed some for public
display and had people who were at the events inform us to the image content.
We also mounted all the pictures in folders with an area for the
public to annotate, a lot of information was forth coming.
A statement in this thread "enthusiastic public who are completely
untrained" shows me a the holier than thou attitude, try learning what
they know about the image subject rather than denigrate.
