George Catlin (1796-1872) traveled the North American continent from 1830-1838 to chronicle the people, customs and traditions of Native American tribes.  His life's ambition was to record the disappearing Native American culture in paint and print.  Catlin's adventures resulted in over 600 portraits and scenes of rituals, hunting and daily life of over fifty North American tribes and several important printed works.

George Catlin: The Printed Works is a two cd-rom publication containing all images (730 at multiple resolutions = 2,314) and texts (1,290 pp.) from the following Catlin titles, as well as a comprehensive index to all texts, maps of the image sites and an extensive bibliography (1462 records):
