The company makes reproductions of historical maps, photos, and prints restored from Library of Congress archives, using archival paper and pigmented inks intended to last for generations.

Founded in 2001, it says it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as fine-art reproduction prints. Its buyers include over 200 bookstores and other retailers, as well as tens of thousands of online customers. It was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project of 2008.

The source also notes that lithography was invented in 1796 and that the Library of Congress launched its American Memory pilot in 1989. That pilot laid the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections about American cultural history.

The collection includes retro posters for Halloween, Mother's Day, and Valentine's Day, along with early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco; these prints can be displayed at home or at work or given as gifts.
