Snapshots of the Past makes reproductions of historical maps, photographs and prints restored from Library of Congress archives. Founded in 2001, the company says it was the first to offer Library of Congress images as fine-art reproduction prints.

It reports buyers including over 200 bookstores and other retailers, along with tens of thousands of online customers, and says it was selected as a vendor for a White House redecoration project in 2008. Its prints use archival paper and pigmented inks. The source also notes that lithography was invented in 1796 and that the Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot in 1989.

That project laid the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections on American cultural history. The company's other print subjects include old holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.
