The Library of Congress recently launched a new version of their Prints and Photographs Online Catalog, which includes some great new features. First, you might be wondering what the Prints and Photographs Online Catalog is. The catalog includes 1.25 million images from the Library of Congress's collection of ~14 million photographs prints, drawings, posters, architectural and engineering drawings, etc. "While international in scope, the collections are particularly rich in materials produced in, or documenting the history of, the United States and the lives, interests and achievements of the American people." (see About PPOC for more information)
The new features include better browsing and viewing options, as well as tools for sharing individual images, collections, or searches. For details about the new features, see the LOC's official announcement.
