The month of June is officially "Picture File" month at the Minneapolis Public Library. The "Picture File" is a sprawling collection of pictures and images dating back to the turn of the century. It's widely used by artists, graphic designers and advertisers but relatively unknown to the general public. The library has launched a campaign to get the word out about what a vast and fascinating resource the "Picture File" is. Minnesota Public Radio's Chris Roberts reports.
Digitization made possible by the State of Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund, approved by voters in 2008.
