Founded in 2001, Snapshots of the Past describes itself as the first company to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality fine-art reproduction prints. Its customers include over 200 bookstores and other retailers, along with tens of thousands of online customers. It was selected as a vendor for the 2008 White House redecoration project. The company restores archival maps, photographs and prints for home decor, using archival paper and pigmented inks intended to last for generations. It recommends historical posters, including holiday designs and early aerial city views, for homes, studies, workplaces and gifts. Lithography was invented in 1796 and enabled inexpensive mass production of prints. The Library of Congress launched the American Memory pilot project in 1989; it laid the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections concerning American cultural history.
