America's Library contains many images of documents, prints, photographs, maps, recordings and other materials from the past. These images represent letters, diaries, records and tapes, films, sheet music, maps, prints, photographs and digital materials. Much of what you see on America's Library will be non-book items, and many of those materials are found only in the collections of the Library of Congress. The site attempts to accurately reference the credit for photographer, artist, author or creator of the materials, as well as the collection from which it is taken within the Library.

Credits for still images are found by clicking on the "Click for enlargement and credits" icon.

Credits for other media are found by clicking on the "Credits" link below the file type.
