As part of the first mileston of the Seeing Lost Enclaves project, I've compiled a collection of public domain images and maps from the Library of Congress for download. These represent just a small selection of the materials available at the Library of Congress cited in the bibliography (additional public domain images are also available which have not yet been digitized), and even more are available from non-LOC sources. The following include images and maps from Truckee, CA, New Orleans, LA, Deadwood, SD, and a variety from other Chinatowns and erased communities of color around the country.
