Washington, D.C.: After more than a year of research and study, the 21-member D.C. Auditorium Commission, created by law of Congress to formulate plans for the design, location, financing and construction of a National Civic Auditorium and Cultural Center in Washington, D.C., submitted its report to the President and Congress on January 30, 1957. The Commission was assisted by a Planning Board made up of eight of the nation\'s foremost architectural and engineering firms who contributed their services as a patriotic duty (firms from Boston, Houston, Detroit, Los Angeles, Jacksonville and Washington). Mrs. Eugene Meyer, author, journalist and wife of the Chairman of the Board of the Washington Post and Times Herald, is Chairman of the Commission. The National Cultural Center will be a multipurpose building with auditoriums and halls of different sizes to accommodate a variety of events. ranging from Inaugural balls, national and international conferences, major organizational conventions, exhibitions, etc. Other halls in the center are suitable for opera, ballet, theatre (especially to house official attractions from foreign countries), symphonic and other musical events, large and small. The building will also have a Tourist Information Center to orient visitors to the Nation\'s Capital, underground parking, dining facilities. Creation of such a cultural center, it is believed, will greatly enhance the prestige of the United States and enable Washington to take its place culturally among other capitals of the world.

Historic Images was formed in September 2009, with a handful of scanners working out of a basement to digitize newspaper photo archives. We have since moved out of the basement, and we can now archive thousands of photos per day. Our company has worked with magazines and newspapers from Detroit, Boston, Denver, Seattle, Tampa, Chicago, and New Orleans, just to name a few.

We are constantly adding to our inventory, and have assembled an archive of millions of photos to date. As our company evolved, we began our business, which brings thousands of fresh sales per week to the world\'s largest online sale marketplace. Our custom software systems and team of great employees allow us to efficiently scan and sell large photo archives online. At the very core of our company\'s DNA is a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and strict integrity for our product. Our promise to you is that we will do everything in our power to provide you a great buying experience.
