Notably, lithography, was invented in 1796. In 1989 a Library of Congress pilot project aptly titled American Memory laid the foundation for the National Digital Library Program which began in 1995. This program works to digitize selected collections of the Library that emphasize the complex history of an American cultural heritage.
