The article offers a look at the digital image gallery debuted by the New York Public Library (NYPL). On March 3, the NYPL launched an online gallery of 275,000 images from its vast collection, accessible via its web site at no charge. Treasures in the NYPL Digital Gallery (http://digitalgallery.nypl.org) include Civil War photos, New York City historical items, 16th-century maps of North America, sheet music covers, floor plans of prewar apartments, Yiddish theater placards, Japanese prints, menus, Russian civil war posters, theater photos, and more. NYPL president Paul Le Clerc told LJ that the nexus of the project dates back to 1999. Users can tackle the massive trove by browsing broad topics, collections, subject words, or names and searching by keyword(s) or identification number. The library's Digital Imaging Unit has produced high-resolution scans or digital photos of 200,000 items. Additional images were digitized by outside contractors. Another team created metadata for each item, making sure that title, creator, date, medium, subject, collection name, and a link to the library's catalog record are attached to each entry. Le Clerc says use of the gallery has been "colossal--four million hits the first day," with roughly 3.5 million hits daily since then. "We've been running 800 million hits a year on the NYPL web site, and I think this year we'll hit one billion," said Le Clerc.
