Founded in 2001, it says it was the first to offer Library of Congress images as fine-art reproductions.

The prints use archival paper and pigmented inks intended to last for generations.

Lithography, a technique that enabled inexpensive mass production of prints, was invented in 1796. The Library of Congress launched its American Memory pilot in 1989; it laid the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections about American cultural history.

The collection also includes holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco for display or gifts.
