Portals of image collections

Hi team,

Some people I'm sure will be familiar with this already, but I think it's
quite interesting to look at some of the existing image collections
available on the web and the type of search interface they offer - see
below:

I'd be very interested if anyone is aware of a paper that compares and
contrasts search interfaces using some of these real world collections as
examples?
