PICTORI online photo database for Korean Studies

http://pictori.net Pictori enables users to upload, manage, share, and use all kinds of images related to Korean studies. Although many list members will already be using other image hosting websites such as Flickr, Photobucket, Instagram or Pinterest, Pictori offers better protection, and more metadata input tools as well as geographic information, allowing users to indicate on a map
exactly where a picture was taken. This feature is unique to image management sites, and it will hopefully provide a useful resource. Pictori also allows you to comment on pictures or ask for help in identifying them.

The About page carries more information about the site, and its use. http://www.pictori.net/about

NB: clicking on thumbnails will show the image and all known metadata (including a map where applicable). To see the full-size version of images,
users must be logged in.
