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

The reproductions draw on Library of Congress archives and use fine-art and archival paper; prints made with archival paper and pigmented inks are intended to last for generations. Lithography was invented in 1796. The Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot in 1989, laying the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 and digitizes selected collections focused on American cultural heritage.

The company's selection includes historical maps, photos, holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.
