Library of Congress American Memory Project

In the early 1990s, the Library of Congress ran a digitization pilot program that culminated in a set of CD-ROMS being sent to 44 schools. The American Memory project stemmed from this digitization effort and became the most important component of the National Digital Library. American Memory exhibits digital collections covering myriad topics including recent historical events (i.e., the events of September 11, 2001), women's history (check out the digitized scrapbooks of suffragists), papers and records of past presidents (the James Madison Papers collection is a well organized, easy to browse collection), and many, many more!
