Founded in 2001, it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality reproduction prints. Its customers 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. Lithography was invented in 1796, making inexpensive mass production of prints possible.

In 1989, the Library of Congress began the American Memory pilot project, which laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program launched in 1995 to digitize selected collections concerning American cultural heritage. The archival materials are intended to last a lifetime and be passed down through generations.

The company's broader print range includes holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.
