What is the FWS National Digital Library?

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Digital Library is a searchable collection of selected images, historical artifacts, audio clips, publications, and video and that are in the public domain. You are free to use them as you wish - no permission is necessary. We do ask that you please give credit to the photographer or creator and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in a format similar to the example below.

Items are constantly being added to the library, so if you don't see something you are looking for today, it may very well have been added the next time you visit.

Most images in the Digital Repository are compressed RGB, JPEG, or PDF files. Most records have low resolution JPEGs that are suitable for web use. This is the display image at the top of the record. High-resolution images are linked in the lower part of the record. You can click on the active link and download these.
