Abstract:
The Smithsonian Institution Archives is responsible for the Smithsonian's records of enduring value. Though the Institution was aware of the need to keep certain records permanently (dating back to 1852) and an archivist was first assigned the task of maintaining records and special collections in 1891, the first modern archives program did not begin until 1967. From its very beginning the Smithsonian collected personal papers and special collections and this trend has been continued by the Smithsonian Archives.

Abstract:
The Smithsonian Institution, a public organisation established in 1846 “for the increase and diffusion of knowledge”, includes ten museums and several research bureaux. Most but not all of the associated libraries are linked through the Smithsonian Institution Libraries; they include several art libraries which contribute significantly to the overall provision of art library service to the American people but do not of themselves constitute a “national art library”. Most of the Smithsonian’s libraries enter their records in a database (SIBIS) which is accessible online via OCLC. Co-ordinated collection development has been pursued since 1984. In two areas in particular, American and African art, Smithsonian libraries aim to provide a national service.

Abstract:
The Goose Lake meteorite, a 2,573 lb (1,167 kg) iron, was found by three deer hunters on lava beds in the Modoc National Forest in northeast California in October, 1938. Although several California persons wanted possession of the meteorite for various California institutions, under the powers of the 1906 Antiquities Act meteorites found on US federal lands were typically transferred to the US National Museum at the Smithsonian Institution and accessioned into the National Collection of Meteorites. With authorization from the US Department of Agriculture, the Smithsonian began a correspondence with one of the meteorite's finders to arrange for its retrieval. But the situation became complicated and controversial when meteorite collector/dealer Harvey H. Nininger (1887-1986), who harboured hopes that the meteorite might be on a parcel of private land in the National Forest, falsely presented himself to the finder as a Smithsonian agent, and was taken to the site of the meteorite. A survey showed the meteorite was on federal land, however, and the Smithsonian reluctantly allowed Nininger to oversee its recovery. During the time that the meteorite was on loan from the Smithsonian and on exhibit at the San Francisco World's Fair, considerable pressure from various California individuals and institutions was put on the Smithsonian to keep the meteorite in California, but it was accessioned into the Smithsonian's National Collection of Meteorites and shipped to Washington, DC. The controversial history of the Goose Lake meteorite affirmed the applicability of the Antiquities Act with regard to the disposition of meteorites found on US federal lands, and set the stage for the later court rulings involving the Old Woman meteorite, a large (2,753 kg) iron found on government land in California in 1976. Problematic ownership issues like those involving the Goose Lake meteorite exist in other countries besides the United States, and in other branches of natural history, especially paleontology. The Goose Lake meteorite is famous for its numerous and enigmatic large holes and cavities, and is a popular attraction at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.

Abstract:
The Smithsonian Institution, a trust instrumentality of the United States, and the largest museum and research complex in the world, receives many outside permission requests to reproduce images in the Smithsonian Collections. Charging fees for photographic usage is a common practice in the United States, especially in art history and general museums. Beginning in 1992, the Smithonian established internal guidelines for changing such fees and for handling permission requests from outside sources. The procedures ensure that the Smithsonian recognises and respects the intellectual property rights associated with images in the collections and the terms of any pre-existing agreements. Great care is also taken to protect the Smithsonian’s name from use in any commercial context, to avoid the implication that the Institution endorses a product (or one product rather than another).

Abstract:
Abstract This article describes the Smithsonian Institution’s involvement in World War ii. For a brief (but active) period the Smithsonian assisted the Army, Navy, and other war agencies. Museum staff eagerly shared ideas and information they had spent generations gathering; they were also willing to embrace the war effort as an opportunity to expand collections. While many museum contributions to the war effort were not made public, a book series on natural history and culture published by museum experts came to be known as the War Background Studies. Examining the Smithsonian’s response to ‘total war’, this article argues that the transformations experienced by the museum were largely temporary, with uneven levels of impact; it also explores how numerous significant intellectuals debated the museum’s future role in post-war society.

Abstract:
The Smithsonian Institution has collected, produced and exhibited audiovisual media for well over a century. This paper discusses how, during the last decade, the institution’s concerted efforts at inventorying and cataloguing the hundreds of thousands of analogue media objects in its collections have led to the development of the centralised Audiovisual Media Preservation Initiative (AVMPI). As a pan-institutional service initiative, the AVMPI’s project team, media digitisation and conservation laboratories, and best practice workflows are advancing collections care and digital access activities across the Smithsonian’s 22 museums and research centres. Software such as Airtable and a new accessibility-friendly streaming video platform built by the Smithsonian are integral to these efforts.

Abstract:
This case study explores the collaboration between Smithsonian Affiliations and Desklight to develop a digital learning hub for Smithsonian’s Affiliates Program. Anchored in humancentered design, the design process relied heavily on ongoing insights from current Affiliates to identify the most useful information to share in this online resource. These insights guided the development of unique Learning Excursions within the learning hub that offered curated worksheets, real-world impact scenarios, and helped prospective Affiliates envision what it would look like to join forces with Smithsonian. The success of this learning hub is attributed to stakeholder involvement, personalized learning, real-world examples, flexible accessibility, community building opportunities, and a design thinking approach. This work serves as a blueprint for organizations aiming to enhance programs, foster meaningful engagement, and drive transformative outcomes by using learning as a benefit.

Abstract:
Abstract This essay details specific approaches to using the Smithsonian Institution’s digital archives as tools for teaching with primary resources in American Studies and Native American and Indigenous Studies classrooms beyond the United States. The applications of these strategies are transferable across the humanities and social sciences. The article is based on my experience as a 2022–2023 “Teaching with Primary Resources” Fellow with the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art, an experience of intensive collaboration on course and assignment design with Smithsonian archivists, archival pedagogy experts, and former and current fellows. The article reflects on and presents as models the archive-based syllabus and corresponding assignments that I created as open access educational resources for the fellowship’s capstone deliverables. Through these discussions, I highlight the challenges and payoffs of using digital archives as teaching tools abroad, hoping to provide guidance and motivation for educators who may be considering whether, why, and how they might introduce digital archives into their own pedagogy.1

Abstract:
In 1846, Congress created the Smithsonian Institution. Congressmen expected the Institution to advance the cause of American science as did Joseph Henry, the organization's first secretary. The Institution fulfilled that role in a manner consistent with its congressional mandate. Henry, however, believed that total compliance with Congress decreased the Institution's ability to shape American science. Congress, Henry thought, had split the Institution into too many departments, diluting its ability to encourage pure scientific research. This thesis traces the Smithsonian's development by examining congressional and early institutional records. It focuses on Congress, the first to leaders of the Smithsonian, Joseph Henry and Spencer F. Baird, and the community of American naturalists. As these groups interacted, they influenced the course of scientific endeavor carried forth by the Institution. This study concludes that the Smithsonian Institution afforded significant assistance to scientists, and it faithfully reflected the scientific and cultural environment of nineteenth-century America.<br>M.A.

This project will address light use in a museum. The focus and the program will require give and take in order to provide sources of natural light without compromising conservation standards. The building will house exhibits of film and photography, including theatres, dark rooms, prints, and projections as well as all the necessary program to support the building including a cafeteria, restrooms, a gift shop, as well as indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. The building site is in DC. When choosing a site I consulted with the National Capital Planning Commission's urban plan of Washington. They have published on their website a study that has listed the city's potential monument and museum sites. When evaluating these sites I decided to use views to and from the sites, as well as acreage to dwindle down the options.<br>Master of Architecture

Abstract:
A travers l’étude des musées de la Smithsonian Institution dans les décennies qui suivent la Seconde Guerre mondiale, cette thèse propose des pistes méthodologiques pour penser le nationalisme aux Etats-Unis. La Smithsonian Institution regroupe des activités de recherche, financées par des fonds indépendants et par des subsides fédéraux, et les Musées Nationaux, essentiellement financés par l’Etat fédéral. Ces musées sont pour la plupart situés sur le National Mall à Washington, dans le centre monumental de la capitale fédérale. Ils sont un observatoire privilégié du nationalisme : en effet, ils se situent à l’articulation entre le pouvoir fédéral et l’activité des professionnels des musées, ce qui permet d’évaluer le degré d’implication de l’Etat dans les Musées Nationaux et la contribution de ce dernier à l’entretien du sentiment national en leur sein. Par ailleurs, la création de nouveaux musées et de nouvelles expositions pose la question de la temporalité dans laquelle s’inscrivent les pratiques nationalistes. Enfin, le rôle des musées, entre explication des phénomènes universels et représentation de la nation, reflète la tension entre l’universel et le particulier qui fonde le nationalisme, compris comme une manière nationale d’être au monde<br>This dissertation focuses on the Smithsonian Museums in the decades following World War II and tests ways of conceptualizing nationalism in the United States. The Smithsonian Institution includes some research bureaus, which are funded with federal and independent funds, and the National Museums, mostly run with federal funds. Almost all National Museums are situated on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., at the monumental heart of the federal capital. They provide an observatory of nationalism, as they are a contact zone between the federal power and museum people, which brings to light the degree to which the government gets involved in the National Museums and the federal contribution to the maintenance of national feelings through museums. Besides, the creation of new museums and new exhibitions suggests that nationalist practices develop within a specific time frame. Finally, as museums oscillate between the exhibition of universal phenomena and that of national features, they magnify the tension between universalism and particularism that is the basis for nationalism, defined as a national way of belonging to the world

The proximal halves of two femora from the Chandler Bridge and Ashley Formations (early Chattian, late Oligocene) near Charleston, South Carolina, provide the earliest evidence to date of true seals. They are clearly referable to the Phocidae and furnish information regarding osteological and myological features that had evolved in early phocids by early Chattian time. Although not determinate to the generic level, these specimens represent a taxon closely comparable to the most specialized phocid, the modem genus &lt;i&gt;Cystophora&lt;/i&gt;.

This study, together with the known occurrence of &lt;i&gt;Balaena &lt;/i&gt;species in the Pliocene of Europe, strengthens the conclusion that bowhead whales were present on both sides of the North Atlantic Ocean at that time.

Full text
Abstract:
&lt;i&gt;Simocetus rayi&lt;/i&gt; (new genus, new species) is based upon a skull and mandible of a small archaic dolphin (Cetacea: Odontoceti) from the upper Oligocene Alsea Formation of Oregon, bordering the northeast Pacific. The species shows many primitive features reminiscent of the archaic odontocete family Agorophiidae: the cheek teeth appear nonpolydont, the nares and premaxillary sac fossae lie anteriorly, the orbit and facial fossa are elevated above the level of the rostrum, the ascending processes of premaxillae are narrow and long, the supraorbital processes of the maxillae are narrow, the intertemporal constriction is prominent, and the pterygoid sinus fossae are restricted to the basicranium. These features are consistent with a basal position among the odontocetes, but they do not justify placement in the paraphyletic- and probably polyphyletic-grade family Agorophiidae. &lt;i&gt;Simocetus rayi&lt;/i&gt; shows some unusual autapomorphies (toothless premaxillae, anterior of rostrum and mandible downtumed) that exclude it from described taxa of odontocetes, and for this reason it is placed in a new and currently monotypic family, Simocetidae. Broader relationships are uncertain; some cranial features hint at affinities with Eurhinodelphinidae. For now, &lt;i&gt;S. rayi &lt;/i&gt;is regarded as a specialized archaic odon-tocete that lies sternward (more basal) to all extant groups of Odontoceti (namely, Physeteroidea, Ziphiidae, Platanistoidea, and Delphinida). &lt;i&gt;Simocetus rayi &lt;/i&gt;was perhaps a bottom feeder that preyed through suction feeding on soft-bodied invertebrates. The inferred presence of nasal turbinals and a vomeronasal organ contrasts with the situation in living odontocetes. Features of the face and basicranium point to echolocation abilities comparable to those of extant Odontoceti. &lt;i&gt;Simocetus rayi&lt;/i&gt; and other contemporaneous archaic odontocetes from Oregon and Washington indicate that odontocetes were taxonomically and ecologically diverse by the late Oligocene.

Abstract:
As nonferrous metals, lead zinc is the most widely used ore after aluminum and copper. Considering the increasing demands in industry, it is understood that a sustainable mine supply is necessary to meet the Pb-Zn. In this context, the geochemical characteristics of the Erva lead zinc deposit in Yahyali (Kayseri) district were tried to be revealed. The study area, Yahyali district, is located in the Southeast of the Central Anatolia Region. The geological unit in which the Erva is located is the Yahyali Munzur Nappe, which tectonically overlies the Feke sequence. In this study, XRF (X Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry) and XRD (X-Ray Diffraction Analysis) geochemical analyzes were carried out in order to understand the lead zinc ore metal source. As a result of the XRF analysis, the average ZnO and PbO grade values (in %) were found as follows: 7.85 and 4.33. According to the XRD results, the mineral paragenesis that forms the ore is as follows: Galena, Cerussite, Smithsonite, Quartz, Gypsum, Hematite, Goethite, Anglesite, Kaolinite, Montmorillonite. Mineralization occurring in the region where geologically young formation aged rocks are present is not seen among large karst cavities. Instead, mineralization in the form of geological fillings is observed in the capillary cracks of the carbonates within the Yahyali Munzur Nappe.

Abstract:
Introdução: É notório que a internet é atualmente a principal fonte instrucional para muitas pessoas. Por meio dela é possível acessar de forma simples e rápida milhares de páginas sobre os mais variados assuntos. Em contrapartida, nem todo conteúdo disponível na internet é confiável ou adequado. Objetivo: Em vistas disso, nosso objetivo foi avaliar a qualidade e profundidade das informações sobre invasão biológica presentes em distintos sites. Material e métodos: Para isso foram selecionados seis sites em razão do grande número de acessos que apresentam (entre parênteses está a data da publicação das matérias nos respectivos sites): Wikipédia (17/08/2017), eFlora Web (27/09/2018), OECO (19/04/2020), IBAMA (27/12/2019), Ambiente Brasil (30/06/2016) e Smithsonian (10/01/2020). Na avaliação do conteúdo dos sites, buscou-se as seguintes informações: (i) conceito de invasão biológica; (ii) definição dos termos espécie nativa, exótica, naturalizada, exótica invasora e equivalentes; (iii) exemplos de espécies exóticas invasoras; (iv) importância do tema invasão biológica. Resultados: Os sites Wikipédia, eFlora Web, IBAMA e Ambiente Brasil abordaram de forma correta o conceito de invasão biológica. Já OECO e Smithsonian não apresentaram essa informação. Não foram encontradas as definições de espécie nativa, exótica, naturaliza, ou equivalentes nos sites consultados. Contudo, eFlora Web, OECO, IBAMA, Ambiente Brasil e Smithsonian apresentaram (e de forma correta) a definição de espécie exótica invasora. Todos os sites, com exceção do Smithsonian, exibiram exemplos de espécies que causam as invasões biológicas. O mesmo se repetiu para importância do tema em questão. Os sites falaram dos impactos das espécies exóticas invasoras sobre a biodiversidade, saúde humana e animal, agricultura, pecuária e economia. Conclusão: Segundo a avaliação realizada, nenhum site apresentou todas as informações consideradas pelos autores do presente estudo como essenciais para a plena compreensão do tema invasão biológica. Por ser um assunto de extrema relevância e ainda pouco conhecido do público geral, é necessário que os conteúdos disponíveis nesses sites sejam atualizados e ampliados.

Abstract:
The Cumberland Bone Cave is a public visitation stop along the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail renowned for its unique fossil resources that help reconstruct Appalachian middle Pleistocene life in the mid-Atlantic region of North America. This site is gated for safety and to prevent unwanted exploration and damage. Approximately 163 taxa of fossil plant and animals have been collected from Cumberland Bone Cave since 1912. Most of the fossils that have been published pertain to mammals, including many extinct or locally extirpated genera and species. Though the early excavations made by the Smithsonian Institution between 1912 and 1915 are the best known of the work at Cumberland Bone Cave, over many decades multiple institutions and paleontologists have collected and studied the fossil resources from this site up until 2012. Today, fossils from Cumberland Bone Cave are housed at various museum collections, including public displays at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. and the Allegany Museum in Cumberland, Maryland. This report summarizes the geology, fossil resources, and the history of excavation and research for Potomac Heritage Trail’s Cumberland Bone Cave.
