For the benefit of prospective applicants for Phase II of the Digital Libraries Initiative, small sample sets of materials from American Memory are available for downloading by FTP.

The materials available include digital reproductions of pictorial materials and textual documents. The documents are available both as page-images and as searchable text marked up in the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). Related catalog records, in MARC format, are also available.

The sample files are available by anonymous FTP from ftp.loc.gov in directory /pub/american.memory/samples/.

Five documents of varying length from Votes for Women: Selections from the National American Woman Suffrage Association Collection. The documents are available as page-images, and as searchable text marked up in SGML using the American Memory DTD. The SGML document includes links to the page-images. The compressed archive file (32 Mbytes) was created using the Unix tar and compress commands. Such a file can be uncompressed using either uncompress or gunzip, followed by untar to split the archive file into its component directories and files.
