The company makes reproductions of historical maps, photographs and prints from Library of Congress archives, using fine art and archival paper.

Prints made with archival paper and pigmented inks are intended to last for generations. Founded in 2001, Snapshots of the Past says it was the first company to offer Library of Congress images as fine art reproduction prints. Its buyers have included over 200 bookstores and other retailers, along with tens of thousands of online customers.

It was selected as a vendor for the White House redecoration project in 2008. Lithography was invented in 1796 and helped make mass-produced prints affordable. The Library of Congress began its American Memory pilot in 1989; that project laid the groundwork for the National Digital Library Program, which began in 1995 to digitize selected collections documenting American cultural history.

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