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 c

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

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 right

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.

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 activit

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

Some 3,000 species are captured in the six plots within Malesia. These include species rarely collected and many that are now endangered.

Before opening, the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture established a program to create digital collection records and surrogates, which play a critical role in collection care, collection accessibility, and enhancing the meaning of collections. The program is off to a good start because it supports the museum’s mission, the museum has established a dedicated “Digi Team,” the program has leadership buy-in and financial support, and other Smithsonian units have been generous with time and expertise.

SummaryThe Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory is currently designing and constructing the Submillimeter Array (SMA). This instrument will consist of six 6-m telescopes, which can be moved and reconfigured in four concentric ring-like arrangements with maximum baselines of 500 m. Pending negotiations, the SMA will be sited on Mauna Kea at the 4000 m plateau, adjacent to the existing CSO and JCMT submillimeter telescopes. The goal of the SMA is to provide imaging at sub-arcsecond resolution for the wavelength range of 1.3 mm to 0.35 mm. This instrument will therefore improve the angular resol

The semantic web promises interlinks of cultural heritage objects, both original and digital, of which the Smithsonian Institution (SI) holds plenty in artifacts, books, audio/video, etc. At the core, structured data in RDF is likely the one member of data infrastructure that carries the major lifting for interlinking. Parsing millions of bibliographic data mainly locked in MARC21 into the BIBFRAME/RDF syntax is not an insignificant endeavour for the library community.
