The company restores and reproduces historical maps, photos and prints 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 customers include over 200 bookstores and other retailers, along with tens of thousands of online buyers; it was chosen as a vendor for a White House redecoration project in 2008. Lithography, invented in 1796, enabled inexpensive mass production of posters.

The Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot in 1989, laying the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which started in 1995 and digitizes selected collections on American cultural history. The company's reproductions also include vintage holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco for display at home or work or as gifts.
