Founded in 2001, Snapshots of the Past says it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as fine-art reproduction prints.

The source also describes early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco and old Halloween, Mother's Day, and Valentine's Day posters as examples of its prints for homes, studies, workplaces, or gifts.

Lithography was invented in 1796 and enabled inexpensive mass production of poster prints. A 1989 Library of Congress pilot project called American Memory laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 and digitizes selected collections emphasizing the complexity of American cultural heritage.
