Teachers, students and educators use the images for school projects, including posters, school websites, Power Point presentations and to embellish written assignments. In addition to educators and their students, aficionados of America's early years also use our images in their pursuit of knowledge of this important time in American history.

Because the ravages of time threaten the loss of historic images from the past, we have embarked on a program of preserving and archiving images of the original engravings from this era. This effort continues to provide new additions to the library.
We believe greater exposure to scenes from America's early beginnings can create an awareness and better understanding of this country's historical roots.
These same images are also available for commercial use in a high resolution format. Clients who license our images include publishers, film production companies and graphic design studios.
Please refer to our Licensing Fees and Terms and Conditions.
