The National Archives UK have a wiki page, as does PROV, but neither of these links back well to the main catalogues.  Museums are using thumbnail images of their collection as a way of enticing this sort of user content, and there is the NLA newspaper project, also imaged based.  But what if you don’t have or can’t have images?  Put it all on Wordpress and post tags?
