The company restores historical maps, photographs and prints from Library of Congress archives and makes reproductions with archival paper and pigmented inks.

Founded in 2001, it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as museum-quality fine-art reproductions. Its buyers have included over 200 bookstores and other retailers and tens of thousands of internet customers. It was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project of 2008. Lithography was invented in 1796, allowing inexpensive mass production of prints.

The Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot project in 1989; that project laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections about American cultural history. The company's retro-style prints include holiday posters and early aerial views of Manhattan, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco.

They can be displayed at home or at work and given as gifts.
