An American Time Capsule: Three Centuries of Broadside and Other Printed Ephemera http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/rbpehtml/pehome.html The American Time Capsule web site has been developed by the rare books and special collections division of the Library of Congress to provide access to printed ephemera held by the Library of Congress. The documents included on the site have been digitally scanned to create Images, which can be viewed in different sizes and formats. The site currently provides access to over 7000 digital Images. All online documents will, on completion of the project, be accompanied by transcriptions. The type of material available from the site includes posters, notices, advertisements, proclamations, leaflets, propaganda, manifestos and business cards. It is possible to search or browse the collections. It is possible to browse by author, title, genre or geographic location of printing. There will be a further release of Images and transcriptions to the documents at the end of 2001.
