Geographic Diversity of Public Domain Image Sources

This page measures the geographic diversity of public domain image sources. We track the number of unique geographic origins, the top 10 most frequent origins, and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of geographic concentration. The data reveals biases in digitization efforts and global cultural representation in image archives. The numbers come from a comprehensive analysis of public domain image collections. Understanding geographic diversity in image sources is important for promoting inclusivity and representation in digital media.
