Meet More Treasures

The Prints & Photographs Online Catalog has a great new look and a new address: www.loc.gov/pictures
This set of images introduces 25 more of the Library of Congress’ remarkable visual collections. You can jump off from here to
•Enjoy a slideshow of WPA posters from the Great Depression era
•Discover hundreds of images by master photographer Edward S. Curtis
•Learn more about Ukiyo-e Japanese prints (pictures of the floating world)
•View all 25,000 glass negatives in the Detroit Publishing Co. Collection
•Meet even more collections to explore!
The new share/save feature makes it easy to post images to your favorite site. The flexible structure and open-source software provide powerful new indexes and stable URLs for every item. Please check it out and help us celebrate!
What’s in the whole catalog? Here’s more of the story, www.loc.gov/pictures/about
P.S. The new catalog design resulted from a rapid rescue project as the old software broke down. We've got more to do on the fix-it list! But our experience on Flickr is already contributing to more photo-friendly features like the slide shows.
