The Providence Public Library has worked tirelessly to digitize a range of works over the past few years. On this section of its site, visitors can look through collections that include Aerial Views, America's Cup in Rhode Island, Civil War Ballads, and over 16 additional collections. The Providence Buildings gallery is a real gem, as it includes over three hundred historical photographs of well-known structures, including the Providence Biltmore. For lovers of maritime lore, the Scrimshaw Collection showcases hundreds of photographs from the Nicholson Collection, a trove of whaling history. Users also shouldn't miss Rhode Island Mill Villages, a collection offering up dramatic views of towns like Hamlet Mills and Georgiaville Mill.
