Yesterday, in the middle of National Library Week, the Digital Public Library of America opened.

The DPLA provides a single point of access to millions of items from libraries, archives, and museums across the United States. I knew there must be items of philatelic interest among those millions, and a quick search yielded several examples, including a Lindbergh cover from the Smithsonian and several Post Office Department films from the National Archives.
