This image bank is part of the University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections. The site makes available more than 2600 images, all from 18th and 19th century publications, many of which "lay buried in aging volumes on fragile paper in obscure corners of library stacks." Users can search or browse for images; each has been scanned for the digital collection and includes a description and bibliographic citation. This is a unique resource that uses modern technology to preserve substantial historical data.
