The company restores historical maps, photos and prints from Library of Congress archives and uses archival paper and pigmented inks for its reproductions, which it says can last a lifetime and be passed down through generations. Founded in 2001, it says it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as fine-art reproduction prints.

It reports buyers at over 200 bookstores and other retailers, along with tens of thousands of internet customers, and says it was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project in 2008. Lithography was invented in 1796.

The Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot project in 1989; that project laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections concerning American cultural heritage.

The company's other reproduction subjects include holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, intended for display at home or work or as gifts.
