The Prelinger Library

The Prelinger Library is a library of visually rich materials and unusual research resources, offered to artists, makers, and the general public for appropriative use and research. It offers a desktop scanner for image capture and encourages photography and copying, as well as downloading of digitized materials. The library’s holdings focus on 19th and 20th century American histories of the land, places and regions, as well as society, nature, culture and technology. The holdings are in the form of over 50,000 items: half books and magazine volumes; half printed ephemera, including maps, pamphlets, zines, flyers, and government documents.
