and librarians of the Smithsonian Libraries. The collections and staff of the
Libraries play a key role in helping the Smithsonian's research and curatorial

their cultural and historical contexts. The Smithsonian Libraries are a hidden
national treasure, where experts come to test and expand knowledge and where
America and the world can turn for authentic answers.

  
The Libraries' website is filled with content of value to scholars, students,

and the casual visitor, including links to databases, a digital library

containing digitized versions of SIL collection volumes, online

exhibitions, research tools, and opportunities to donate.
